Utilization of Lexiscan (Regadenoson)in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab to Achieve Maximal Hyperemia for Coronary Physiologic Assessment With Fractional Flow Reserve

The purpose of this study is to determine if regadenoson is as safe and effective as
adenosine when used in the cardiac catheterization lab during measurement of coronary flow
reserve and fractional flow reserve. The study hypothesis is the assessment of Fractional
Flow Reserve (FFR) in the catheterization lab can be performed with equivalent accuracy when
hyperemia is induced with IV Regadenoson compared with IV Adenosine without compromising
patient safety.

Patients with clinical indications to be assessed by fractional flow reserve (FFR) will be
included. Following diagnostic angiography in the catheterization lab, the patient will have
a guide catheter placed in the artery to be assessed followed by placing a pressure
guidewire down the coronary vessel and past the lesion of interest. FFR will be measured in
the traditional manner, with intravenous adenosine infusing at 140 mcg/kg/min until maximal
steady state hyperemia is reached. At this point, the FFR will be recorded as Pd (distal
pressure from the pressure wire in the coronary artery) divided by Pa (proximal pressure
from the guide catheter). The adenosine infusion will then be stopped and the patient's
hemodynamics allowed to return to baseline. Once baseline state is again achieved, an
intravenous bolus of regadenson (0.4 mg) will be given and FFR will be remeasured as the
lowest steady state Pd/Pa. Patients will be enrolled at two sites, The University of Florida
- where FFR will be measured alone, and Saint Louis University, where coronary flow will be
measured simultaneously to evaluate the effect of regadenoson on coronary flow velocity as
compared to adenosine. The primary endpoint of the study will be to compare the FFR achieved
with adeonsine to that obtained with regadenoson.
