Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of Functionally Nonsignificant Stenosis

Fractional Flow Reserve to Determine the Appropriateness of Angioplasty in Moderate Coronary Stenosis

Background —PTCA of a coronary stenosis without documented ischemia at noninvasive stress testing is often performed, but its benefit is unproven. Coronary pressure–derived frac...

Long-Term Follow-Up After Deferral of Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty of Intermediate Stenosis on the Basis of Coronary Pressure Measurement 11This study was supported in part by Grant 95001 from the “Stichting Vrienden van het Hart” (Friends of the Heart Foundation), Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

Fractional Flow Reserve versus Angiography for Guiding Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Routine measurement of FFR in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease who are undergoing PCI with drug-eluting stents significantly reduces the rate of the composite e...

Fractional Flow Reserve–Guided PCI versus Medical Therapy in Stable Coronary Disease

In patients with stable coronary artery disease and functionally significant stenoses, FFR-guided PCI plus the best available medical therapy, as compared with the best availabl...

Fractional Flow Reserve Versus Angiography for Guiding Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease

Routine measurement of FFR in patients with multivessel CAD undergoing PCI with drug-eluting stents significantly reduces mortality and myocardial infarction at 2 years when com...

Prognostic Value of Fractional Flow Reserve

FFR demonstrates a continuous and independent relationship with subsequent outcomes, modulated by medical therapy versus revascularization. Lesions with lower FFR values receive...

Fractional flow reserve versus angiography for guidance of PCI in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (FAME): 5-year follow-up of a randomised controlled trial

Fractional Flow Reserve Assessment of Left Main Stenosis in the Presence of Downstream Coronary Stenoses

Background— Several studies have shown that fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement can aid in the assessment of left main coronary stenosis. However, the impact of downstream...
