Fractional Flow Reserve: From Homeland to Colony

چکیده
IntRoductIon In current catheter research, there are 3 main directions with respect to fractional flow reserve (FFR), including instantaneous wave‐free ratio, noninvasive measurement of FFR, and FFR transferred from coronary circulation to other ischemia‐inducing circulation. Recently, an interesting study was published, in which FFR was performed to diagnose and guide stenting in chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI).[1] We herein highlighted, the implications and limitations of FFR from coronary artery to renal artery and mesenteric artery for future investigations, respectively.

Correlation between intracoronary ultrasound and fractional flow reserve in long coronary lesions. A three-dimensional intracoronary ultrasound study.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Intracoronary ultrasound estimation of the functional significance of intermediate angiographic lesions has mainly been based on measuring the minimal lumen area. These estimates take no account of lesion length and pay insufficient attention to long coronary lesions. METHODS We included 61 lesions with visual angiographic stenosis of 40% to 70% that required treat...
متن کاملValidation With Positron Emission Tomography
Background Experimental studies have shown that fractional flow reserve (defined as the ratio of maximal achievable flow in a stenotic area to normal maximal achievable flow) can be calculated from coronary pressure measurements only. The objectives of this study were to validate fractional flow reserve calculation in humans and to compare this information with that derived from quantitative co...
متن کاملFractional Flow Reserve and Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography
Background: Invasive Fractional Flow Reserve Obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) produces symptoms and increases the risk of adverse cardiac outcomes. However, determining whether a particular coronary stenosis is responsible for causing myocardial ischemia can be challenging, even with invasive coronary angiography (ICA). To help guide decisions in the cardiac catheterization laboratory,...
متن کاملEffect of Varying Hemodynamic and Vascular Conditions on Fractional Flow Reserve: An In Vitro Study
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of varying hemodynamic conditions on fractional flow reserve (ratio of pressure distal [Pd] and proximal [Pa] to stenosis under hyperemia) in an in vitro setting. Failure to achieve maximal hyperemia and the choice of hyperemic agents may have differential effects on coronary hemodynamics and, consequently, on the determination of f...
