Background This study investigated whether the microvascular dysfunction differed between culprit and non-culprit vessels in patients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods and Results In 115 prospectively recruited patients, after successful percutaneous coronary intervention, culprit and non-culprit intracoronary hemodynamic measurements were performed and repeated at 6-month follow-up. 13N-ammonia positron emission tomography was performed at 6-month follow-up visit to determine absolute myocardial blood flow. The resistance values of each vessel were calculated using the coronary pressure data and the myocardial blood flow values obtained from 13N-ammonia positron emission tomography data. We compared the measurements between culprit and non-culprit vessels and assessed changes in microvascular dysfunction during the study period. In 334 vessels (115 culprit and 219 non-culprit), the culprit vessel group showed a lower fractional flow reserve and coronary flow reserve than the non-culprit vessel group at baseline and 6-month follow-up, respectively. The value of index of microcirculatory resistance was different between the 2 groups in the baseline but not at 6-month follow-up. The microvascular resistance at rest and hyperemic microvascular resistance were not different between the 2 groups, but resistance to stenosis was higher in the culprit vessel group, under both resting and hyperemic status (P=0.02 and P<0.01, respectively). In the culprit vessel analysis, the fractional flow reserve and index of microcirculatory resistance decreased whereas coronary flow reserve increased (P<0.01 for all) at 6-month follow-up. However, there was no change in index of microcirculatory resistance, coronary flow reserve, and fractional flow reserve from baseline to 6-month follow-up in the non-culprit vessel analysis. Conclusions The observed microvascular dysfunction in acute coronary syndrome is limited to the culprit vessel territory in the acute phase, which is relatively recovered in the chronic phase and there is no out-of-culprit territory involvement.

Registry and results database of federally and privately supported clinical trials conducted in United States and around world. Provides information about purpose of trial, who may participate, locations, and phone numbers for more details. This information should be used in conjunction with advice from health care professionals.Offers information for locating federally and privately supported clinical trials for wide range of diseases and conditions. Research study in human volunteers to answer specific health questions. Interventional trials determine whether experimental treatments or new ways of using known therapies are safe and effective under controlled environments. Observational trials address health issues in large groups of people or populations in natural settings. ClinicalTrials.gov contains trials sponsored by National Institutes of Health, other federal agencies, and private industry. Studies listed in database are conducted in all 50 States and in 178 countries.
