Summary: | Abstract Objectives This study sought to demonstrate how changes in the collateral function and its clinical significance before and after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) are compared between patients with acute coronary syndrome and total or nearly total occlusions (ATOs) and chronic total occlusions (CTOs). Background The functional relevance of the collateral circulation in patients with ATOs and CTOs has not been fully investigated. Methods The pressure-derived collateral pressure index (CPI), myocardial fractional flow reserve (FFRmyo), and coronary fractional flow reserve (FFRcor) at maximum hyperemia induced by intravenous adenosine were evaluated in occluded vessels at baseline, after the PCI, and at 1 year in 23 ATO and 74 CTO patients. Results The FFRmyo and FFRcor were significantly lower, but the CPI was significantly higher in the CTO than ATO patients at baseline and after the PCI. There were significant increases in the FFRmyo (p < 0.001) and FFRcor (p |
