FAME 2
Fractional flow reserve versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation 2
Paziente / Popolazione Intervento / Esposizione Confronto Esito
In 888 patients with stable coronary disease and a functionally significant (FFR ≤0.80) stenosis, FFR-guided PCI plus medical therapy reduced death, MI, or urgent revascularisation compared with medical therapy alone.

Disegno
Multicentre open-label RCT, stopped early for benefit
Esito
Death from any cause, nonfatal MI, or urgent revascularisation
Rilevanza

RisultatoPCI 4.3% vs medical therapy 12.7% (HR 0.32, 95% CI 0.19-0.53, P<0.001), driven by reduction in urgent revascularisation; no significant difference in death or MI at this early timepoint.

Discussione e critica
Composite driven by the softer, unblinded urgent-revascularisation component and the trial stopped early, which can inflate effect size. Established FFR-guided PCI over medical therapy for functionally significant stable lesions.
