Fractional Flow Reserve—Guided Lesion or Patient Management?
Correspondence To the Editor: In one of the latest issues, Hu et al. carried out a national retrospective cohort study and investigated the clinical outcomes and cost of fractional flow reserve (FFR) guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in daily practice. FFR guided PCI was shown to improve the clinical outcomes with reduced cost, as demonstrated in the literature. We would like to e...
متن کاملFractional Flow Reserve in Angiographically Insignificant Stenoses: Unmasking the Lesion or Creating Disease?
F rom earliest days of coronary angiography, we have been seeking hemodynamic confirmation of what our eyes tell us in the laboratory. Even before the clinical outcomes for patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty were barely known (and certainly before the manufacture of dedicated pressure-sensor guidewires), Gr€untzig made efforts to measure the transstenotic pressur...
متن کاملTraumaNetzwerk DGU(®): optimizing patient flow and management.
PURPOSE Caring for severely injured trauma patients is challenging for all medical professionals involved both in the preclinical and in the clinical course of treatment. While the overall quality of care in Germany is high there still are significant regional differences remaining. Reasons are geographical and infrastructural differences as well as variations in personnel and equipment of the ...
متن کاملOptical coherence tomographic image of an angiographically borderline lesion with a significant fractional flow reserve.
42-year-old diabetic woman presented with left ventricular dysfunction late after an Aanterior wall myocardial infarction. Fluoro-deoxy glucose-positron emission tomography showed viability in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) territory. Coronary angiogram (A, Online Video 1) showed a significant mid-LAD disease which was stented. Fractional flow reserve (B) done for the borderline lesi...
متن کاملComputed Tomography-Derived Fractional Flow Reserve in the Detection of Lesion-Specific Ischemia
Invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard for the determination of physiologic stenosis severity and the need for revascularization. FFR computed from standard acquired coronary computed tomographic angiography datasets (FFRCT) is an emerging technology which allows calculation of FFR using resting image data from coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA). However, the ...
