American College of Cardiology Congress 2026 - Dr Joost Daemen (Thoraxcenter, Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, NL) joins us to discuss findings from the FAST III trial (NCT04931771; ECRI) a large-scale randomised study comparing fractional flow reserve (FFR) with 3D-quantitative coronary angiography-derived vessel FFR (vFFR) to guide coronary revascularisation.This randomised, open… View more

Long-term follow-up from the FAMOUS-NSTEMI trial suggests that a fractional flow reserve-guided strategy for managing patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) does not reduce adverse cardiovascular outcomes compared to standard angiography-guided care.¹MethodologyFAMOUS-NSTEMI was a prospective, randomised, controlled trial that enrolled 350 patients with NSTEMI… View more

The long-term benefits of revascularization over medical therapy for patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) remain a subject of clinical debate. New long-term follow-up data from the Fractional Flow Reserve versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation 2 (FAME 2) trial provide further insight, demonstrating a sustained benefit for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) guided by… View more

ESC Congress 2024 — FFR-guided PCI improves outcomes in TAVI patients with coronary artery disease.Principal investigator, Prof Jacob Thomsen Lønborg (Rigshospitalet, DK) joins us to discuss the NOTION-3 trial (NCT03058627). A multinational, open-label, investigator-initiated trial evaluated the efficacy of FFR-guided PCI versus medical therapy in managing coronary artery disease (CAD) among… View more

An individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis has found that using fractional flow reserve (FFR) to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with a significant reduction in major adverse events compared to a standard angiography-guided strategy. The benefit appears to be driven primarily by a reduction in peri-procedural myocardial infarction (MI).¹The PRIME Collaboration… View more

A study has found that while the severity of ischaemia correlates poorly with daily angina symptoms in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), the development of coronary collateral circulation is associated with both the ischaemic burden and reduced intensity of ischaemic chest pain.¹ This may help explain the often-observed disconnect between stenosis severity and patient-reported… View more

The optimal timing for treating nonculprit lesions in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease remains a topic of clinical debate. The iMODERN trial sought to clarify this by comparing outcomes between an immediate, physiology-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy and a deferred, imaging-guided approach.¹˒²MethodologyThe… View more
