Clinical Relevance of Coronary Fractional Flow Reserve: Art-of-state
OBJECTIVE The objective was to delineate the current knowledge of fractional flow reserve (FFR) in terms of definition, features, clinical applications, and pitfalls of measurement of FFR. DATA SOURCES We searched database for primary studies published in English. The database of National Library of Medicine (NLM), MEDLINE, and PubMed up to July 2014 was used to conduct a search using the key...
متن کاملFractional flow reserve in acute coronary syndromes.
Little doubt exists about the outcome benefit of an invasive strategy in patients with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Yet, once the revascularization is performed, the treatment strategy of patients admitted with an ACS is not always as straightforward in daily clinical practice as indicated in guidelines. The reasons for this are at least three-fold. First, a sizable proportion of patients ...
متن کاملFractional flow reserve to guide coronary revascularization.
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) has become an increasingly important index for decision making with respect to revascularization of coronary artery stenosis. It is the gold standard to indicate whether a particular stenosis is responsible for inducible ischemia and it is generally accepted that a stenosis with an ischemic value of FFR is responsible for angina pectoris and a worse outcome, and sh...
متن کاملComprehensive assessment of coronary fractional flow reserve
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is considered nowadays as the gold standard for invasive assessment of physiologic stenosis significance and an indispensable tool for decision-making in coronary revascularization. Robust studies have shown that FFR is more effective in accurately identifying which lesions should be stented, and revascularization guided by FFR improves the outcome of coronary arte...
