Original Title: Image-based FFR during coronary catheterization. Presenter: Mariano Pellicano. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is considered the gold standard to detect myocardial ischemia; however, due to its elevated cost, increased procedural time and potential complications associated to the guiding catheter, it is still underused. The FFRangio is a new technology based of angiographic images...
Original Title: Diagnostic accuracy of a fast computational approach to derive FFR from coronary X-ray angiography: results from the international multicenter FAVOR (Functional Assessment by Varios flow Reconstruction) pilot study. Presenter: Shengxian Tu. Pressure gradient across coronary stenosis is associated to flow and influenced by obstruction geometry. The QFR (quantitative flow ratio) is a...
Original Title: Coronary Flow Reserve and Microcirculatory Resistance in Patients with Intermediate Coronary Stenosis. Reference: Joo Myung Lee, el al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2016; 67:1158-69 Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. Measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR) helps establish whether intermediate stenosis will generate ischemia, but it won’t help assess microcirculatory function. It has been shown that...
Original Title: Impact of the Right Atrial Pressure on Fractional Flow Reserve Measurements Comparison of Fractional flow Reserve and Myocardial Fractional flow Reserve in 1600 Coronary Stenosis. Reference: Toth G, et al. JACC Cardiovasc Interv. 2016 Feb 12. Epub ahead of print. Courtesy of Dr. Guillermo Migliaro. Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is the gold standard for the...
Original Title: Fractional flow reserve vs. angiography in guiding management to optimize outcomes in non-St segment elevation myocardial infarction: the British Heart Foundation FAMOUS–NSTEMI randomized trial. Reference: Jamie Layland et al. European Heart Journal (2015) 36, 100–111 Courtesy of Dr. José Amadeo Guillermo Álvarez. Several studies have established the value of fractional flow reserve (FFR) in...
Original Title: Significance of Intermediate Values of Fractional Flow Reserve in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease. Reference: Julien Adjedj et al. Circulation. 2016 Jan 5. Epub ahead of print. The fractional flow reserve (FFR) value of 0.75 has been validated against tests for inducible ischemia, whereas the value 0.80 has been widely accepted to guide the...
Though the benefit of FFR (fractional flow reserve) over angiography is statistically important only over the first 2 years, this pattern is maintained at long term according to FAME 5 year follow up, presented at the ECS and simultaneously published in The Lancet. Between the second and fifth year, the number of patients at risk...
