Abstract:
Objectives:Present study aimed to use quantitative flow ratio based on Murray's law to analyze the risk factors of impaired side branches perfusion without naked eye visible slowing of blood flow in branches after interventional treatment of true bifurcation lesions of the coronary arteries. Methods:A total of 211 patients with non-left main coronary artery true bifurcation coronary artery disease who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from June 2022 to September 2023 were continuously enrolled,with a total of 234 bifurcation lesions.The general clinical indicators,anatomical characteristics of coronary artery bifurcation lesions,branch protection methods,postoperative branch TIMI blood flow and other data were collected,and quantitative flow ratio(μQFR)was measured for postoperative branch blood vessels.Post-PCI μQFR<0.8 was considered as impaired branch perfusion and was included in the postoperative impaired branch perfusion group(n=51,53 branch lesions).Patients with μQFR≥0.8 were included in the postoperative normal branch perfusion group(n=160,181 branch lesions).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the effects of various clinical and anatomical factors on branch perfusion after PCI. Results:The post-PCI branch flow grading of all patients was TIMI grade Ⅲ.The postoperative branch μQFR of 53 vessels(22.6％)in the group with impaired postoperative branch perfusion was 0.70±0.10,and 0.93±0.05 in the group with normal postoperative branch perfusion,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.001).Compared with the postoperative group with normal branch perfusion,the postoperative group with impaired branch perfusion was featured with an elevated branch lesion length,branch reference diameter,postoperative branch opening diameter stenosis rate,postoperative branch narrowest lumen diameter stenosis rate,and a lower main branch-to-branch diameter ratio,preoperative branch narrowest lumen diameter stenosis rate,and preoperative main branch μQFR,all of which were statistically significant(all P<0.05).The postoperative branch opening diameter stenosis rate(r=-0.490,P<0.001),postoperative branch narrowest lumen diameter stenosis rate(r=-0.788,P<0.001),preoperative branch narrowest lumen diameter stenosis rate(r=-0.280,P<0.001),branch narrowest lumen diameter(r=-0.469,P<0.001),branch lesion length(r=-0.157,P=0.016)were negatively correlated with postoperative branch μQFR,and branch reference diameter(r=0.173,P=0.008),main branch/side branch diameter ratio(r=0.194,P=0.003),and branch opening diameter(r=0.328,P<0.001)were positively correlated with postoperative branch μQFR,and none of them were significantly correlated with clinical baseline data(all P>0.05).Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that following four factors were independent risk factors for impaired branch perfusion:postoperative stenosis of the narrowest branch lumen diameter(OR=1.228,95％CI:1.144-1.318,P<0.001),postoperative stenosis of the branch opening diameter(OR=1.110,95％CI:1.055-1.168,P<0.001),postoperative stenosis of the narrowest lumen diameter of the main branch(OR=1.115,95％CI:1.042-1.192,P=0.001),and length of the branch lesion(OR=1.121,95％CI:1.021-1.231,P=0016). Conclusions:Some of the patients whose branch flow reached TIMI grade Ⅲ after PCI are still faced the risk of hemodynamical impairment and should be functionally evaluated after PCI.The postoperative stenosis rate of the narrowest branch lumen diameter,postoperative stenosis rate of the branch opening diameter,postoperative stenosis rate of the narrowest lumen diameter of the main branch,and branch lesion length are the risk factors of branch perfusion impairment after PCI for coronary bifurcation lesions.
