Does an OCT-based machine learning model accurately predict invasive wire-based FFR in patients with intermediate coronary stenosis?
An OCT-based machine learning model can accurately predict invasive FFR in intermediate LAD lesions, potentially allowing simultaneous anatomical and functional assessment from a single imaging pullback.

Supports OCT-ML feasibility for combined anatomical-functional assessment in intermediate stenosis; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Machine learning approaches using intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) to predict fractional flow reserve (FFR) have not been investigated. Both OCT and FFR data were obtained for left anterior descending artery lesions in 125 patients. Training and testing groups were partitioned in the ratio of 5:1. The OCT-based machine learning-FFR was derived for the testing group and compared with wire-based FFR in terms of ischemia diagnosis (FFR ≤ 0.8). The OCT-based machine learning-FFR showed good correlation (r = 0.853, P < 0.001) with the wire-based FFR. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of the OCT-based machine learning-FFR for the testing group were 100%, 92.9%, 87.5%, 100%, and 95.2%, respectively. The OCT-based machine learning-FFR can be used to simultaneously acquire information on both image and functional modalities using one procedure, suggesting that it may provide optimized treatments for intermediate coronary artery stenosis.

Cha et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Intermediate coronary stenosis (n=125). OCT-based machine learning-FFR vs. Wire-based FFR was evaluated on Correlation between OCT-based machine learning-FFR and wire-based FFR (r = 0.853, p=<0.001). The OCT-based machine learning-FFR model demonstrated a strong correlation and high diagnostic accuracy for predicting functionally significant ischemia compared to wire-based FFR.
