BACKGROUND: Optical coherence tomography-derived fractional flow reserve (OCT-FFR) correlates strongly with wire-based FFR; however, its clinical significance remains uncertain.

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to investigate the relationship between post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) OCT-FFR and long-term clinical outcomes in acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

METHODS: This retrospective, multicenter, observational cohort study included consecutive patients with ACS who underwent OCT-guided emergency PCI. We analyzed post-PCI OCT images and calculated OCT-FFR to identify independent factors associated with target vessel failure (TVF) after PCI.

RESULTS: Among 364 enrolled patients, 54 experienced TVF during a median follow-up of 36 (IQR: 26-48) months. Vessel-level OCT-FFR was significantly lower in the TVF group than in the non-TVF group (0.87 vs 0.94; P < 0.001). In the multivariable Cox regression analysis, low vessel-level OCT-FFR (HR per 0.1 increase: 0.38; 95% CI: 0.29-0.49; P < 0.001) and thin-cap fibroatheroma in the nonculprit lesion were independently associated with TVF. The TVF rate of vessels with both low vessel-level OCT-FFR (<0.90) and thin-cap fibroatheroma in the nonculprit lesion was 8.1 times higher than that of all other vessels (69.3% vs 12.4%; HR: 8.13; 95% CI: 4.33-15.25; log-rank P < 0.001). Furthermore, adding vessel-level OCT-FFR to baseline characteristics and post-PCI OCT findings improved discriminatory and reclassification ability in identifying patients with subsequent TVF.

CONCLUSIONS: Vessel-level OCT-FFR was an independent factor associated with TVF after PCI in patients with ACS. Adding the OCT-FFR measurement to post-PCI OCT findings may enable better discrimination of patients with subsequent TVF after PCI for ACS.
