Fractional flow reserve-guided PCI.

n engl j med 372;1 nejm.org january 1, 2015 94 difference. The observed loss of FEV1 was neither a time-dependent nor a dose-dependent effect in the withdrawal group, as compared with the maintenance group. A difference of 38 ml between groups became apparent only after the final step of inhaled glucocorticoid withdrawal and did not change to a meaningful extent thereafter. Singanayagam et al. ...

Fractional 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...

[Myocardial bridging and fractional flow reserve].

Rev Esp Cardiol. 2005;58(9):1117 1117 A 69-year-old patient with a history of hypertension was admitted to the hospital for an acute coronary syndrome. Coronary arteriography showed a myocardial bridge at the mid-distal third of the left anterior descending artery with marked systolic compression. The fractional flow reserve (FFR) following intravenous infusion of adenosine (140 μg/kg) was 0.68...

Visual-functional mismatch and results of fractional flow reserve guided percutaneous coronary revascularization.

OBJECTIVE To identify mismatches in the significance ofcoronary artery stenosis determined by physician 's visual estimation (VE) vs. quantitative coronary angiography (QCA), by VE vs. fractional flow reserve (FFR), and independent predictors for mismatch between VE and FFR. Second objective was to evaluate the clinical outcomes ofpatients receiving FFR-guided percutaneous coronary intervention...
