QFR-Guided Virtual Stenting for Preprocedural Physiological Optimization of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Randomized Controlled Trial (FAVOR-Virtual)
A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial of Preprocedural Physiological Optimization of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using Coronary Imaging-Physiology Fusion-Based Virtual Stenting Technology
Coronary angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains the standard treatment strategy for patients with coronary artery disease; however, suboptimal post-PCI physiological outcomes remain common and are associated with adverse cardiovascular prognosis. Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR)-based virtual stenting technology enables simulation of post-intervention coronary physiology before PCI and may facilitate individualized optimization of stent implantation strategies.
This multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate whether preprocedural physiological optimization of PCI using coronary imaging-physiology fusion-based virtual stenting technology improves clinical outcomes compared with conventional angiography-guided PCI. Eligible patients undergoing PCI for coronary artery disease will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either virtual stenting-guided PCI optimization or standard angiography-guided PCI.
The primary endpoint is major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven repeat revascularization within 1 year after PCI. Secondary endpoints include post-PCI physiological optimization, cardiovascular death or nonfatal myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, quality of life, procedural safety, and health economic outcomes.

Descrição detalhada
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) guided by coronary angiography remains the current standard treatment approach for coronary artery disease. However, angiographic optimization does not necessarily correspond to physiological optimization, and a considerable proportion of patients experience suboptimal post-PCI coronary physiological results, which are associated with increased risks of adverse cardiovascular events.
Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR)-derived physiological assessment provides a non-wire, angiography-based method for functional evaluation of coronary lesions. Recent developments in virtual stenting technology enable simulation of residual coronary physiology after hypothetical stent implantation, thereby allowing preprocedural prediction of post-PCI QFR and optimization of interventional strategies.
The present study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled superiority trial designed to evaluate whether coronary imaging-physiology fusion-based virtual stenting technology for preprocedural physiological optimization improves clinical outcomes compared with conventional angiography-guided PCI.
Approximately 1,472 participants with coronary artery disease undergoing PCI will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either: Virtual stenting-guided PCI optimization; or Standard angiography-guided PCI.
The primary endpoint is 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven repeat revascularization.
Secondary endpoints include immediate post-PCI physiological optimization, cardiovascular death or nonfatal myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, quality of life assessed by Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) and EuroQol Five-Dimensional Questionnaire (EQ-5D), procedural safety, and health economic outcomes.
Participants will be followed at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months after PCI. The study will also evaluate concordance between predicted post-PCI QFR derived from virtual stenting and actual postprocedural physiological measurements, as well as changes in operator treatment strategies after physiological optimization.
