This register included 42,887 patients receiving FFR or iFR to assess moderate lesions, and 80% of them underwent FFR.
Population characteristics were similar, except that the iFR group had more women, with more diabetes, MI, stroke and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Primary end point was a composite of all cause death, MI and unplanned revascularization.
At 5 years, there were no significant differences in primary end point, or individual events, which include all cause death, MI and unplanned revascularization. Also, MACE were analyzed in treated and deferred patients, with no differences neither in MACE nor in individual events.
At group sub-analyzis, no differences were found either, between FFR and iFR patients.

In conclusion, the authors determined that, at 5 years, there were no significant differences in MACE or in the events of all cause death, MI and unplanned revascularization.
