Fractional flow reserve and complex coronary pathologic conditions.
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a well-validated index for assessing the physiologic significance of a coronary stenosis in most clinical conditions encountered in today's catheterisation laboratory. The aim of this paper is to provide a short overview of the theoretical background of the coronary pressure-derived FFR index and its clinical applicability in guiding complex coronary interventio...

This paper aims to provide a short overview of the theoretical background for coronary pressure-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) index and to focus on its clinical applicability in complex coronary intervention.
متن کاملCoronary pressure measurement and fractional flow reserve.
The shortcomings of coronary arteriography to assess the physiological significance of coronary stenoses have been recognised for decades ; therefore, the importance of additional physiological techniques is beyond doubt. One of the currently available physiological techniques is coronary pressure measurement, which has emerged over the past few years as a major step forward in the invasive ass...
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...
