Fractional Flow Reserve: Comparison between Invasive and Non-invasive Methods for Calculation of FFR
The heart disease that affects millions of people worldwide is coronary artery disease. It is caused by a narrowing or blocking of the arteries due to plaque which restricts blood flow, and reduces the amount of oxygen to the heart. Angiogram as a tool, which represents an X-ray examination of the blood vessels in the heart, is traditional tool that aid physicians in the treatment of disease. T...
متن کاملACIST-FFR Study (Assessment of Catheter-Based Interrogation and Standard Techniques for Fractional Flow Reserve Measurement)
BACKGROUND Measurement of fractional flow reserve (FFR) to guide coronary revascularization lags despite robust supportive data, partly because of the handling characteristics of traditional coronary pressure wires. An optical pressure-monitoring microcatheter, which can be advanced over a traditional coronary guidewire, facilitates FFR assessment but may underestimate pressure wire-derived FFR...
متن کاملFractional Flow Reserve
Traditionally, coronary artery disease was assessed using coronary angiographic guidance. Significant lesions were determined by the coronary angiographer. However, interobserver variability showed a significant limitation of interpretation of coronary angiography. Stent deployment and apposition were also evaluated based on angiographic appearance only. Risk factors for stent thrombosis and in...
متن کاملHybrid Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio–Fractional Flow Reserve versus Fractional Flow Reserve in the Real World
BACKGROUND The instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) is a novel method to assess the ischemic potential of coronary artery stenoses. Clinical trial data have shown that iFR has acceptable diagnostic agreement with fractional flow reserve (FFR), the reference standard for the functional assessment of coronary stenoses. This study compares iFR measurements with FFR measurements in a real world, sin...
متن کامل“Virtual” (Computed) Fractional Flow Reserve
Ma Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the “gold standard” for assessing the physiological significance of coronary artery disease during invasive coronary angiography. FFR-guided percutaneous coronary intervention improves patient outcomes and reduces stent insertion and cost; yet, due to several practical and operator related factors, it is used in <10% of percutaneous coronary intervention proc...
