Integrated Use of IVUS and
FFR for LM Stenting
Gary S. Mintz, MD
Cardiovascular Research Foundation
Four studies have highlighted the inaccuracy of angiography in the
assessment of LMCA disease
• Fisher et al. Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn 1982;8:565-75
• Cameron et al. Circulation 1983;68:484-489
• Lindstaedt et al. Int J Cardiol 2007;120:254-61
• In 51 patients unanimous correct assessment of LM
severity by 4 experienced interventional cardiologists was
only 29%
• Hamilos et al. Circulation 2009;120:1505-12
• In 209 patients two reviewers either disagreed whether the
LM was significant or they agreed and were wrong in their
assessment of LM severity in 49%
IVUS vs FFR in LMCA Disease
• There is more agreement between IVUS and FFR in assessing LMCA
than in assessing non-LMCA lesions
• Limited variability in (short) LMCA length
• Limited variability in large LMCA size
• Limited variability in amount of supplied myocardium
• Both have theoretical and practical limitations
• FFR
• Proximal LAD and/or LCX disease may affect FFR of LMCA
• IVUS
• Especially in distal LMCA lesions, it is necessary to image from
both the LAD and LCX
• It is not possible to assess the LCX from an LAD-to-LM pullback,
and it is not possible to assess the LAD from an LCX-to-LM
pullback

• An in vitro model suggests that
positioning the FFR guidewire in the
LCX will not accurately reflect the
LMCA only if the composite FFR in
the LMCA+LAD is ≤0.65.
• An in vivo ovine model suggests that
an FFR in the uninvolved artery will
not accurately reflect the LMCA only
if the composite FFR in the LMCA+the
involved artery is ≤0.50 and that an
FFR >0.85 would indicate that the
LMCA is not functionally significant.

• In 25% of patients, MLA differs by 1mm2 when
imaged from a pullback beginning in the LAD
vs the LCX.
• Since IVUS can artificially increase, but not
decrease lumen dimensions, the smallest MLA
is always the most accurate

Criteria for stent underexpansion at the distal
LMCA bifurcation (n=403)
• MACE-free survival was
lower in pts with
underexpansion vs those
without underexpansion
(89.4% vs 98.1%)
• TLR-free survival was lower
in pts with underexpansion
vs no underexpansion
(90.9% vs 98.5%).
• Although acute
malapposition was observed
in 28 pts, malapposition was
not related to MACE at
follow-up.

Two-Stent Techniques (n=114) One-stent Cross-over (n=289)
Impact of underexpansion on ISR in patients treated
with either two stents or a single stent cross-over
• 975 pts with unprotected LMCA stenosis
underwent elective stenting under IVUS (n=756)
or angiographic (n=219) guidance and were
followed for 3 years
• IVUS-guidance was significantly associated with
reduced death (HR=0.31 overall and HR=0.27 in
DES) as compared with angiography guidance
• However, the use of IVUS-guidance did not
reduce the risk of myocardial infarction or target
vessel revascularization.
