Abstract:
Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of fractional flow reserve (FFR) based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) for coronary functional ischemia, and to investigate the feasibility of synchronously obtaining Doppler blood flow velocity information with the help of OCT technology.Methods:This study was a single-center, prospective, self-controlled clinical study on coronary heart disease patients who underwent OCT and FFR assessment at Department of Cardiology, the Second Hospital of Jilin University from January 2024 to February 2025. Linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the correlation and consistency between OCT-FFR and FFR. With FFR≤0.80 as the gold standard for judging whether the target vessel was ischemic, the diagnostic performance of OCT-FFR was evaluated, and the diagnostic value of OCT-FFR for significant coronary artery ischemia was assessed using subject operating characteristic curves. Blood flow OCT data were analyzed by Doppler processing algorithm to obtain information on coronary blood flow velocity.Results:A total of 31 vessels from 28 patients were analyzed, the correlation coefficient r between OCT-FFR and FFR of the 31 vessels was 0.84 ( P<0.001). With FFR as the gold standard to determine whether a coronary artery is ischemic, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for OCT-FFR was 93.55%, 75.00%, 100.00%, 1.00, 0.92. In clinical practice, Doppler OCT was used for the first time to obtain information on coronary blood flow velocity. Conclusion:OCT-FFR had an excellent correlation and consistency with FFR in judging whether there is coronary artery ischemia. The feasibility of the simultaneous acquisition of OCT-FFR and Doppler flow velocity information in coronary stenosis was preliminarily verified.
