Spontaneous myocardial infarction (double-arm randomised
and observational studies)
Comparing the results of two randomised control
studies12,13 with a total of 269 patients, we noted no
significant difference in the rates of spontaneous MI associated with
the use of FFR-guided CABG vs. CAG-guided CABG. (RR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.08
to 6.25, p = 0.75) (Figure 3D). Data analysis of 2 observational
studies14,15 and 1023 patients showed again no
significant difference in the need of target vessel revascularisation
with the use of either FFR-guided CABG or CAG-guided CABG (RR: 0.77,
95% CI: 0.47 to 1.25, p = 0.29) (Figure 3D). Likewise in all
four studies with a total of 1292 patients, there was no difference in
the rates of spontaneous MI in the FFR-guided CABG group and the
CAG-guided CABG group (RR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.48 to 1.23, p = 0.27)
(Figure 3D).
