Abstract
AIMS We aimed to investigate the relationship between post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) fractional flow reserve (FFR) and clinical outcome using a systematic review with a study-level meta-analysis. METHODS AND RESULTS MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL were systematically searched for articles with clinical follow-up reporting mean or median final post-PCI FFR. The main outcome was a composite of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), and target vessel revascularization (TVR). Meta-regression analyses were performed on mean post-PCI FFR values. A total of 62 studies with 12 340 patients and 12 923 stented vessels were included, with follow-ups ranging from 1 to 89 months. Post-PCI FFR was not continuously associated with the rate of 1-year MACE or 1-year TVR using meta-regression models accounting for heterogeneous follow-up lengths. For studies comparing high vs. low post-PCI FFR, low post-PCI FFR was associated with high risk ratio for MACE {1.97 [95% confidence interval (CI):1.45-2.67]}, all-cause death [1.59 (95% CI: 1.08-2.34)], MI [3.18 (95% CI: 1.84-5.50)], TVR [2.08 (95% CI: 1.63-2.65)] and angina status [2.50 (95% CI: 1.53-4.06)] using different optimal cut-off values spanning from 0.80 to 0.95. CONCLUSION We found no clear continuous association between post-PCI FFR and clinical outcomes in this systematic study-level meta-analysis. In a subset of studies investigating binary classification, high post-PCI FFR was associated with a better clinical outcome than low post-PCI FFR.We investigated the relationship between post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) fractional flow reserve (FFR) and rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), and target vessel revascularization (TVR), using a systematic review and study-level meta-analysis, pooling 12 340 patients from 62 studies. Mean post-PCI FFR was not continuously associated with a 1-year MACE rate accounting for heterogenous follow-up lengths. Still, the risk ratio favoured high post-PCI FFR for reduced MACE, all-cause death, MI, TVR, and better angina status using different cut-offs.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) guided by coronary physiology provides symptomatic benefit and improves patient outcomes. Nevertheless, over one-fourth of patients still experience recurrent angina or major adverse cardiac events following the index procedure. Coronary angiography, the current workhorse for evaluating PCI efficacy, has limited ability to identify suboptimal PCI results. Accumulating evidence supports the usefulness of immediate post-procedural functional assessment. This review discusses the incidence and possible mechanisms behind a suboptimal physiology immediately after PCI. Furthermore, we summarize the current evidence base supporting the usefulness of immediate post-PCI functional assessment for evaluating PCI effectiveness, guiding PCI optimization, and predicting clinical outcomes. Multiple observational studies and post hoc analyses of datasets from randomized trials demonstrated that higher post-PCI functional results are associated with better clinical outcomes as well as a reduced rate of residual angina and repeat revascularization. As such, post-PCI functional assessment is anticipated to impact patient management, secondary prevention, and resource utilization. Pre-PCI physiological guidance has been shown to improve clinical outcomes and reduce health care costs. Whether similar benefits can be achieved using post-PCI physiological assessment requires evaluation in randomized clinical outcome trials.
