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…

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…

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…

In this 'Cath Lab Guide to Coronary Reactivity Testing', Dr Robert Jay Widmer (The McKinney Heart Hospital, US) turns the focus to thermodilution-based coronary physiology, employing both intracoronary and intravenous adenosine. He demonstrates step-by-step measurement of resting and hyperaemic transit times, distal coronary pressure, and the calculation of fractional flow reserve (FFR), coronary…

EuroPCR 25 - Substudy findings from ILUMIEN-IV show that virtual flow reserve was slightly higher after angiography guidance rather than an optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based physiology assessment after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in high-risk angiographic lesions.We are joined by Dr Thomas Johnson (Bristol Heart Institute, Bristol, UK) to discuss findings from a retrospective…
