Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an index used to describe the physiological significance of a coronary stenosis. It measures the pressure drop under conditions of maximal hyperaemia between the aorta and a selected vessel location distal to an angiographic lesion.1 Several FFR studies have identified patient groups in whom coronary stenting is associated with improved outcomes when compared with… View more

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a noninvasive tool capable of directly visualising the coronary anatomy with high sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) for coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to invasive coronary angiography (ICA).1,2 Recent innovations in computed tomography (CT) technology have led to the rapid development of CCTA and its selection as an anatomic… View more

The functional severity of atherosclerotic coronary lesions is the single most important prognostic factor in patients with documented coronary artery disease (CAD). Assessment of the haemodynamic significance of coronary artery lesions by invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement now has an I-A indication by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) to identify haemodynamically relevant… View more

The invasive measurement of fractional flow reserve (FFR) can determine the haemodynamic relevance of coronary artery stenoses. Determination of FFR is recommended in coronary artery stenoses with a luminal diameter narrowing between 50 % and 90 % if no non-invasive proof of ischaemia is available.1 To measure the FFR of a given coronary lesion, a wire or a microcatheter equipped with a… View more
