Official title
Simultaneous Measurement of EpicArdial and Microvascular ResisTance Via Angiographic FLOW (SMARTFLOW) Study
Overview
The aim of this study is to establish the diagnostic performance of the AngioAI+ System (AngioInsight, Inc, USA) for estimating: 1. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) and 2. Detection of coronary microvascular disease (CMD) SMARTFLOW is a prospective, single-arm, observational multicenter study of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing clinically indicated invasive coronary angiography with physiological assessment. The study is designed to prospectively enroll patient cohorts and collect data according to their reference procedures (e.g. FFR, CFR measures). A core lab will evaluate performance of the AngioAI+ software retrospectively using the collected SMARTFLOW study data. As such, the investigational AngioAI+ device will not inform clinical decisions amid the study procedure.
Detailed description
All patients will undergo clinically indicated invasive coronary angiography with physiological assessment according to standard of care.
Cohort 1: Patients with intermediate lesions (30-90% diameter stenosis) will undergo invasive FFR assessment. In patients with FFR \>0.80 (non-flow limiting stenosis), subsequent assessment of the microcirculation with bolus and continuous thermodilution will be performed.
Cohort 2: Patients with non-obstructive (\<30% stenosis) disease will undergo assessment of the microcirculation with bolus and continuous thermodilution.
For patients in Cohort 1 with FFR ≤0.80 undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), FFR measurements after PCI will be recommended. Use of intravascular imaging will be strongly encouraged to guide PCI procedures, in accordance with current practice guidelines.
Interventions
- Procedure Patients with intermediate coronary artery stenosis with clinically indicated FFR assessment.
Cohort 1. Patients with intermediate coronary artery stenosis (30-90% diameter stenosis) with clinically indicated FFR assessment. - Procedure Microvascular assessment
Cohort 2: Patients with non-obstructive (\<30% stenosis) disease will undergo assessment of the microcirculation with bolus and continuous thermodilution.
Primary outcome measures
- To establish the diagnostic performance of the AngioAI+ System [Time frame: June 2026 to December 2027]
- To establish the diagnostic performance of AngioAI+ System [Time frame: June 2026 to December 2027]
