Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography With Selective Noninvasive Fractional Flow Reserve

Based on review of available data, the Company may consider the use of noninvasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) following a positive coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to guide decisions about the use of invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in patients with stable chest pain at intermediate risk of coronary artery disease (CAD i.e., suspected or presumed stable ischemic heart disea...

Noninvasive FFR Derived From Coronary CT Angiography

Fro Un an Ca pa R0 Fe su an Ca Sa He oth OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine whether noninvasive fractional flow reserve derived from computed tomography (FFRCT) predicts coronary revascularization and outcomes and whether its addition improves efficiency of referral to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) after coronary computed tomography

MP 6.01.59 - Coronary Computed Tomography With Selective Noninvasive Fractional Flow Reserve

Fractional flow reserve using coronary computed tomography angiography requires at least 64slice coronary computed tomography angiography and cannot be calculated when images lack sufficient quality (HeartFlow, 2013) (11% to 13% in recent studies; Koo et al, 2011; Min et al, 2012; Nakazato et al, 2013; Nørgaard et al, 2014), eg, in obese individuals (eg, body mass index, >35 kg/m2). The presenc...
