Diagnostic Performance of Angiography-Derived Quantitative Flow Ratio: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]
Background: Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) is a novel technology to assess the functional significance of coronary stenoses based on standard coronary angiography, which can be alternatives to invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) assessment.

Quantitative flow ratio-guided surgical intervention in symptomatic myocardial bridging
BACKGROUND: Patients with myocardial bridging (MB) are associated with adverse cardiovascular events, but a decision to perform surgical intervention, especially for patients with systolic intermediate stenosis, is a difficult clinical issue.

Reproducibility of quantitative flow ratio: An inter-core laboratory variability study
BACKGROUND: Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) is a novel approach to derive fractional flow reserve (FFR) from coronary angiography. This study sought to evaluate the reproducibility of QFR when analyzed in independent core laboratories.

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard for functional assessment of intermediate lesions. However, assessing a stenosis with pressure wire prolongs the procedure, increases costs and carries a risk of procedure-related adverse events. Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) is a wire-free method for detection of significant ischemia based on 3D ...

Quantitative flow ratio for assessment of donor vessel in patients with chronic total occlusions [PDF]
Background Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is a challenging subset of coronary artery disease characterized by complete vessel obstruction and development of collateral circulation. In CTO patients, donor vessels supplying collateral flow may be at risk of

Relation of quantitative flow ratio with transit time coronary artery bypass graft flow measurement
BackgroundQuantitative flow ratio (QFR) is a new functional index to assess the functional significance of coronary stenosis. While whether there is an association between QFR and transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) parameters of the target coronary ...

Murray law-based quantitative flow ratio versus invasive fractional flow reserve in the left anterior descending coronary artery: impact of hydrostatic pressure correction and clinical implications [PDF]
BackgroundInvasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard for guiding coronary revascularization. Angiography-derived FFR techniques such as the quantitative flow ratio (QFR) provide a less invasive alternative.

Correlation and Relative Prognostic Power of Post–Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Fractional Flow Reserve and Quantitative Flow Ratio [PDF]
Background Post–percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an established method to evaluate the functional result of angiographically successful PCI; however, it is rarely measured.
