About this trial

This study is a multicenter, prospective, blinded (blinding of clinical evaluators), randomized controlled, event-driven non-inferiority clinical trial. Eligible subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be registered in the central randomization system and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the experimental group (CT-FFR guided group) or the control group (QFR guided group).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years

with stable chest pain who underwent CCTA and have at least 1 lesion with a percent diameter stenosis (DS%) between 50% and 90% in a coronary artery with a ≥2.5 mm reference vessel diameter by visual assessment.These patients plan to undergo further non-invasive or invasive diagnosis and treatment.

Able to undergo invasive coronary angiography (ICA)

Capable of complying with the study procedures and fully understand the informed consent form approved by the ethics committee, and provide voluntary consent.

Disqualifiers

Patients with acute coronary syndrome requiring urgent revascularization.

Patients with unstable angina, including those with first-onset chest pain within 48 hours, CCS III or higher first-onset angina, those whose angina has worsened to CCS III or IV within a short period of time, or those with rest angina lasting more than 20 minutes.

Patients with iodine contrast agent allergy.

Pregnant or lactating women.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • CT-FFR

    Device

    CT -FFR(coronary computed tomography angiography drived fractional flow reserve derived) uses routine coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) images and applies a specific algorithm to extract both anatomical and physiological information of the coronary arteries. By combining these two pieces of information, a fluid dynamics model of the coronary arteries can be established, allowing the calculation of FFR at any location of the coronary arteries.

  • QFR

    Device

    Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) is a new method for evaluating the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis based on angiography. It can be used for real-time detection of hemodynamic abnormalities in the coronary arteries in the catheterization lab. Unlike traditional methods that require the use of pressure wires and vasodilators such as adenosine, the QFR examination process only requires routine coronary angiography. By reconstructing the three-dimensional structure of the blood vessels and analyzing the hemodynamics, the QFR can evaluate the fractional flow reserve (FFR) without the need for pressure wires and vasodilators.
