Invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard for guiding decision making to identify patients who would benefit from revascularization. Now, computed tomography can also do that by using computational fluid dynamics to calculate fractional

Predictors of postprocedural fractional flow reserve: insights from the FFR-SEARCH study
Abstract Introduction and objectives: Patients with a low post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) fractional flow reserve (FFR) are at a higher risk for future adverse cardiac events. The objective of the current study was to assess specific patient and procedural predictors of post-PCI FFR.

Coronary CT FFR vs Invasive Adenosine and Dobutamine FFR in a Right Anomalous Coronary Artery [PDF]
We present the management of an anomalous coronary artery originating from the opposite sinus of Valsalva with comprehensive diagnostic workup including noninvasive coronary computed tomography (CT) derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) and invasive ...

Diagnostic Accuracy and Feasibility of Quantitative Flow Ratio at Low Frame Rate Angiography: The Prospective Multicentre Australian AVALON Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR) is a well‐established, non‐hyperemic, angiographic, wire‐free predictor of ischemia when compared to Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR). However, its diagnostic accuracy at low frame rates (< 10 frames/second), commonly used in contemporary practice to minimize radiation exposure, has not been evaluated ...

Comparison of FFR and corrected FFR values.
Overall, FFR values in the anterior coronary vessels tended to increase, whereas those in the posterior coronary vessels tended to decrease after FFR correction by height difference.

The methods used to appreciate the degree of coronary stenosis such as CFR and FFR, come to complement the coronary angiography and help the interventional physician during PCI. Furthermore, CFR and FFR measured immediately after reperfusion, in patients with ACS, may act as a prognosis factor for myocardial infarction.Changes in coronary ...
