Abstract Background With the emergence of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), ANOmalous connections of CORonary arteries (ANOCOR) are more frequently diagnosed than previously reported. CT-derived Fractional Flow Reserve (FFRCT) is a non-invasive functional test providing anatomical and functional evaluation of the overall coronary tree. These unique features could help for the management of patients with ANOCOR. Objective We aimed to retrospectively evaluate the clinical impact of FFRCT analysis in the ANOCOR registry population with 3 year-follow-up. Method The ANOCOR registry included adult patients with ANOCOR detected during invasive coronary angiogram or CCTA performed between January 2010 and January 2013. Among 472 patients included, 105 patients had a cardiac CT during the inclusion period. Results We retrospectively performed FFR-CT and obtained successful analyses in 54 patients of 60±13 years with a complete 3-year clinical follow-up. Thirty-six (67%) patients had conservative treatment and 18 (33%) patients had coronary revascularization after the CCTA. FFRCT analysis showed that ANOCOR course slightly reduces the mean FFRCT value of 1 at the ostium to 0.90±0.10 downstream the abnormal course and had a distal vessel mean FFRCT value 0.82±0.11. No statistical difference of FFRCT values were observed between ANOCOR at risk and non at risk and between conservative and revascularization groups. At 3 years of follow-up, only one patient had unplanned revascularizations of ANOCOR vessel in the conservative strategy group. Conclusion We observed favorable FFRCT values of ANOCOR and non ANOCR vessels. Patients treated conservatively and revascularized had excellent clinical outcome at 3 years of follow up.
