Does the Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio Approximate the Fractional Flow Reserve?
This study sought to examine the clinical performance of and theoretical basis for the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) approximation to the fractional flow reserve (FFR).Recent work has proposed iFR as a vasodilation-free alternative to FFR for making mechanical revascularization decisions.

Differential predictability for high-risk plaque characteristics between fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio [PDF]
To evaluate the differential associations of high-risk plaque characteristics (HRPC) with resting or hyperemic physiologic indexes (instantaneous wave-free ratio [iFR] or fractional flow reserve [FFR]), a total of 214 vessels from 127 patients with ...

Change in instantaneous wave-free ratio in the donor artery in multivessel coronary disease: a case report [PDF]
Patients with multivessel coronary artery disease require an individual approach when choosing tactics for myocardial revascularization. In some cases, additional methods for assessing the stenosis significance should be used, such as measuring the ...

The reasons why fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio are similar using wave separation analysis [PDF]
Background and objectives Fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are the two most commonly used coronary indices of physiological stenosis severity based on pressure. To minimize the effect of wedge pressure (P wedge ), FFR

The Inter-Study Reproducibility of Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio and Angiography Coregistration [PDF]
Coregistration system of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) pullback and angiography has been developed to enhance benefits of physiology oriented percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but its reproducibility has not yet been fully assessed.In 51 coronary arteries from 39 patients with stable coronary artery disease, iFR angio-coregistrations were

Agreement of the Resting Distal to Aortic Coronary Pressure With the Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio. [PDF]
Recently, 2 randomized controlled trials showed that the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), a resting coronary physiological index, is noninferior to fractional flow reserve for guiding revascularization. The resting distal to aortic coronary pressure (Pd/Pa) measured at rest is another adenosine-free index widely available in the cardiac ...
