For short, concise coverage of the key data released at CRT 2023, our accessible Expert Interviews were conducted with select faculty, focussing on the results, applicability and impact on future research. 

About the episode

CRT 23 - In this short interview from CRT's 2023 Scientific Sessions, we are joined by Dr Joost Daemen (Thoraxcenter, Erasmus University Medical Center, NL) to outline the FAST III Trial, sponsored by the European Cardiovascular Research Institute. In this study, over 2000 patients were randomized in a 1:1 manner, to vFFR or FFR guided revascularization for the treatment of coronary artery disease. Patients are followed up to 12 months, at which point, the primary endpoints of all-cause death, myocardial infarction and revascularization are analysed. 

Questions: 

  1. What was the rationale behind this study?
  2. What was the patient population, current enrollment status and study design?
  3. What is the potential impact of the results of this trial?
  4. What are the next steps for FAST III?

Recorded remotely from Rotterdam, 2023.
