Myocardial Mass Determination by FFRct and Absolute Coronary Blood Flow

Lead Sponsor:

Catharina Ziekenhuis Eindhoven

Conditions:

Fractional Flow Reserve

Absolute Flow Measurement

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-75 years

Brief Summary

The background for performing the present study is to compare the mass calculations by CT scanning and by invasive absolute blood flow measurements and thereby corroborating both methods.

Detailed Description

Although knowledge about the myocardial mass (in grams) of the different territories belonging to the major coronary arteries, is of clinical importance to estimate risk of coronary interventions (PCI...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Presence of multivessel coronary disease with an indication for multivessel FFR and/or PCI or patients with single vessel disease scheduled for FFR/PCI of that single coronary artery

  • Focal lesions only
  • Normal left ventricular function
  • Age \< 75 years
  • Note: previous uncomplicated PCI in any of the coronary arteries is permitted

Exclusion

  • Inability to give informed consent
  • Diffuse coronary disease
  • Tortuous or calcified arteries interfering with reliable invasive FFR assessment
  • Previous myocardial infarction or ejection fraction less than 60% by echocardiography or ventriculography or less than 50% by nuclear methods
  • Atrial fibrillation interfering with high quality coronary CT scanning
  • Contra-indications for CT scanning
  • Left main stenosis
  • Age \> 75 years
  • Pregnancy or desired pregnancy in the future
