Collateral Donor Artery Physiology and the Influence of a Chronic Total Occlusion on Fractional Flow Reserve

Abstract: Although FFR is reported to be independent of changing hemodynamics, 10 it is intimately related to total coronary flow through a stenosis, which in turn is related to perfused myocardial mass. 11 In keeping with this, there have been several reports of large increases in collateral donor vessel FFR associated with PCI of a concomitant CTO and, therefore, reduction in perfused myocardium.12-16 However, there is inherent variability to FFR measurement, 10 and therefore selective reporting and publication bias m… Show more

“…(1) Thus, the increase in FFR in the donor artery is calculated as follows: The above inequality (3) indicates that the FFR increase in the donor artery stenosis monotonically decreases when the donor artery FFR becomes larger, which is in accordance with the results of the study of Ladwiniec et al 1 Similarly, the partial differentiation in Equation 2 with respect to FFR 2 and n are calculated as follows: (5) The inequality (4) demonstrates that the FFR increase in the donor artery stenosis is more significant when the recipient artery FFR is larger. This indicates that the richer the collateral, the stronger the effect of the recipient artery recanalization.…”

“…Many of their comments have already been addressed in the article. 2 We agree that the mass of collateral dependent myocardium and extent of collateralization are likely to be important factors in the extent of change in donor vessel fractional flow reserve (FFR) in this setting. Our sample size was calculated to demonstrate a significant change in collateral donor vessel FFR; to assess all predictive factors, a much larger study would indeed be required.…”

“…BEW wave energy is territory dependent and has been shown to fall with a reduction in perfused myocardial mass. 15 BEW intensity is likely to be related to a combination of perfused myocardial mass and LV diastolic performance. We intentionally selected left anterior descending stenoses to attempt to control for myocardial mass, and differences in wave intensity analysis attributed to different myocardial territories.…”
