LINC 2025 - Outcomes from the GRIFFIN study suggest post-procedural functional flow reserve (FFR) could be a useful predictor of restenosis after drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for superficial femoral artery (SFA) lesions. Restenosis patients showed significantly lower FFR values than non-restenosis patients, and the study resulted in a good FFR cut-off value of restenosis after DCB… View more

AUTHOR: Ola WisniewskaA novel optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based physiological assessment, virtual flow reserve (VFR), has been shown to predict 2-year clinical outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), independent of anatomical measures like minimal stent area (MSA). This finding comes from a new substudy of the ILUMIEN IV trial, highlighting the potential of VFR to… View more
