Popis: Invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) is considered the gold standard to evaluate coronary artery flow. Stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (sCMR) is an emerging non-invasive tool to evaluate myocardial perfusion in children. We sought to compare sCMR with FFR to determine impaired intracoronary flow in children with anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) and/or myocardial bridge (MB) who presented concern for myocardial ischemia.From December 2012 to May 2019, AAOCA and/or MB patients (20 years old) were prospectively enrolled and underwent sCMR and FFR. Abnormal sCMR included perfusion/regional wall-motion abnormality in the involved coronary distribution. FFR was performed at baseline and with dobutamine/regadenoson and considered abnormal if0.8 in the affected coronary segment.Of 376 patients evaluated, a total of 19 (age range, 0.2-17 years) underwent 24 sets of sCMR and FFR studies, with 5 repeat studies following intervention. Types of anomalies included 6 isolated MB/normal CA origins, 5 single CAs, 5 left AAOCAs, and 3 right AAOCAs. Seventeen patients (89.5%) had MB/intramyocardial course - 14 involving the left anterior descending coronary artery and 3 with multivessel involvement. sCMR correlated with FFR in 19/24 sets (7 sCMR and FFR positive, 12 sCMR and FFR negative) and it did not correlate in 5/24 sets. The positive percent agreement was 77.8%, negative percent agreement was 80.0%, and overall percent agreement was 79.2%.Assessment of myocardial perfusion using non-invasive sCMR concurred with FFR, particularly if performed with close proximity in time, and may contribute to risk stratification and decision making in children with AAOCA and/or MB.
