Event Description
|
A journal article was submitted for review titled 'fractional flow reserve-guided pci or coronary bypass surgery for 3-vessel coronary artery disease: 3-year follow-up of the fame 3 trial'.Fame 3 (fractional flow reserve versus angiography for multivessel evaluation) is an investigator-initiated, multi-center, international, randomized trial involving patients with 3-vessel coronary artery disease (cad), not involving the left main coronary artery, in 48 centers worldwide.The aim of this study was to present the pre-specified key secondary end point of the fame 3 trial (3-year incidence of the composite of death, myocardial infarction [mi], or stroke) after coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg), compared with fractional flow reserve (ffr) guided percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) using current generation drug eluting stents (des).Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive ffr-guided pci using zotarolimus des or cabg.Patients who were assigned to the cabg group underwent surgery according to local routine at each participating center.Patients who were assigned to the ffr-guided pci group had all stenoses with an ffr of 0.80 or less treated with either a medtronic resolute integrity zotarolimus des or resolute onyx zotarolimus des.The primary end point of fame 3 was the composite of death from any cause, mi, stroke, or repeat revascularization at 1 year.At the time of the design of fame 3, a key secondary end point (the composite of death from any cause, mi, or stroke at 3 years) was pre-specified and is presented in this study.A total of 1500 patients with 3-vessel cad were randomly assigned at 48 sites to ffr-guided pci (757 patients) or cabg (743 patients).Baseline characteristics and angiographic characteristics were well-balanced between groups.39% of patients were admitted with an acute coronary syndrome.In the pci group, 24% of the lesions intended for treatment had an ffr >0.80.Patients who underwent pci had a mean of 3.7 des implanted.Clinical follow-up was performed at hospital discharge, 1 and 6 months, and 1, 2, and 3 years.Complete 3-year follow-up was achieved in > 96% of patients in both groups.At 3 years, there was no significant difference in the composite of death, mi, or stroke.Death from any cause was not different between groups and occurred in 4.1% of patients assigned to pci and 3.9% of patients assigned to cabg.Mi occurred in 7.0% of patients assigned to pci and in 4.2% of patients assigned to cabg.Stroke occurred in 1.6% of patients assigned to pci and in 2.0% of patients assigned to cabg.Repeat revascularization occurred more frequently in those randomized to pci compared with those randomized to cabg.The composite of death, mi, stroke, or repeat revascularization occurred in 18.6% of patients randomized to pci and in 12.5% of patients randomized to cabg.The percentage of patients with clinically relevant angina at 3 years was low and was not different between the groups.
