Table 3: Summary of Results From the FAME Study.
Year | Patients (n) | Participants | Endpoints | FFR cut-off value | Adenosine | Mean FFR | Treatment | Endpoints | P value | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
FFR-guided group | Angio-guided group | RR with FFR guidance (95 % CI) | |||||||||
2009 | 1,005 | Stable angina (or ACS if >5 days post event) Multi-vessel disease referred for PCI | Death, MI or repeat revascularisation | FFR ≤0.80 | Central IV (140 μg/kg/min) | Overall cohort: 0.71 ±0.18 Ischaemic lesions: 0.60±0.14 Non-ischaemic lesions: 0.88±0.05 | Angio-guided versus FFR-guided PCI (DES) | 13.2 | 18.3 | 0.72 (0.54–0.96) | 0.02 |
ACS = acute coronary syndrome; DES = drug-eluting stent; FAME = Fractional Flow Reserve versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation; FFR = fractional flow reserve; IV = intravenous; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention. Source: Tonino, et al. 2009.
