Brief Summary

TruePhysio pressure microcatheter is a novel device for evaluating the functional significance of coronary stenosis, and its safety and efficacy on the measurement of hyperemic index have been validated in the previous SUPREME study (NCT03541577). This study will further evaluate the safety and efficacy of the physiological indices measured by the TruePhysio pressure microcatheter, including resting and hyperemic indices, with respect to the physiological indices measured by the Pressure Wire.

Detailed Description

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the constant-resistance ratio (cRR) measured by the TruePhysio pressure microcatheter, in both binary and hybrid strategy, with respect to its own fractional flow reserve (FFR) and the FFR or resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) by the Pressure Wire. And the safety and efficacy of the FFR measured by the TruePhysio pressure microcatheter in patients with a border range of diameter stenosis also be validated with respect to the FFR by the Pressure Wire.

The diagnostic accuracy of cRR by the TruePhysio pressure microcatheter system is evaluated, using FFR measured by both systems as reference;

Mean bias between the FFR values measured by TruePhysio pressure microcatheter and Pressure Wire is evaluated, using FFR measured by Pressure Wire as the reference;

The diagnostic accuracy of the hybrid cRR-FFR scheme by the TruePhysio pressure microcatheter is evaluated, using its own FFR as reference;

The diagnostic accuracy of the hybrid RFR-FFR scheme by the Pressure Wire system is evaluated, using its own FFR as reference.

The hybrid scheme for cRR-FFR (pressure microcatheter system), or RFR-FFR (pressure wire system), is defined as following:

* the gray zone is defined as where the sensitivity and specificity are equal, shown as \[A, B\].

* if cRR or RFR of the target vessel is \<A, it is diagnosed as functionally positive in myocardial ischemia;

* if cRR or RFR of the target vessel is \>B, it is diagnosed as functionally negative in myocardial ischemia;

* if cRR or RFR of the target vessel is between A and B (including A and B), the diagnostic criterion is superseded by that of FFR, which is:

* if FFR of the target vessel is \> 0.80, it is diagnosed as functionally negative in myocardial ischemia;

* if FFR of the target vessel is ≤ 0.80, it is diagnosed as functionally positive in myocardial ischemia.

A total of 487 patients are anticipated to be recruited from 11 centers in China.

Rate of significant driftImmediate upon completion of the procedure for the last enrolled patient

Drift is defined as the difference between FFR value and 1 when pressure sensor is pulled back to coronary artery ostium for verification.

Significant drift occurs when the device has a drift with absolute value \> 0.03; alternatively, drift is regarded as significant when the Pd/Pa at the ostium for verification is either \<0.97 or \>1.03.

Significant drift is recorded per appearance, regardless whether the measurement is eventually successful or not. Its rate is calculated as:

Times of significant drift occurred in total / Times of measuring attempted in total

Device success is defined when a device successfully crossed the lesion and completed acquisition of valid physiological values.

For any vessel, if valid cRR and FFR values by the TruePhysio pressure microcatheter are acquired, the measurement of TruePhysio pressure microcatheter is successful in the specific vessel, disregarding how many times it was attempted;

For any vessel, if valid RFR and FFR values by the Pressure Wire are acquired, the measurement of Pressure Wire is successful in the specific vessel, disregarding how many times it was attempted.
