FFR-guided CABG was associated with a significant reduction in the rate of overall death or myocardial infarction at 6-year follow-up compared with angiography-guided CABG.

Does FFR-guided CABG reduce overall death or myocardial infarction in patients undergoing CABG compared to angiography-guided CABG?
FFR-guided CABG may provide long-term clinical benefits by reducing the combined risk of death or myocardial infarction at 6 years compared to angiography-guided CABG.
BACKGROUND: Fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has been associated with lower number of graft anastomoses, lower rate of on-pump surgery, and higher graft patency rate as compared with angiography-guided CABG surgery. However, no clinical benefit has been reported to date. METHODS AND RESULTS: =0.21). CONCLUSIONS: FFR-guided CABG is associated with a significant reduction in the rate of overall death or myocardial infarction at 6-year follow-up as compared with angiography-guided CABG.
Fournier et al. (Wed,) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease requiring CABG. Fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided CABG vs. Angiography-guided CABG was evaluated on Overall death or myocardial infarction. FFR-guided CABG was associated with a significant reduction in the rate of overall death or myocardial infarction at 6-year follow-up compared with angiography-guided CABG.
