Is It Safe to Defer with FFR? 5-Year Results from the J-CONFIRM Registry
In more than 1,000 patients (with approximately 1,500 lesions) with moderate stenosis on coronary angiography and defer revascularization based on FFR who were enrolled in the J-CONFIRM registry, which included 28 sites in Japan, the results of the 5-year rate of TVF (cardiac death, target vessel-related MI, and clinically derived TVR) was about 12%.
This was primarily clinically driven TVR, according to a report in the Feb. 8 issue of ‘Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions.’
TCROSS NEWS asked Dr. Shoichi Kuramitsu of Kokura Memorial Hospital, the first author of this study, about the difficulties encountered in conducting the registry and the clinical significance of this result.
