Safety of FFR-based treatment strategies: the Munich experience.

摘要: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) as a new technique for physiological assessment of coronary stenoses could identify patients with CAD in whom the deferral an intended PCI was more beneficial than performing planned procedure. It is up to now unknown whether FFR-based therapy stratification also safe multivessel disease and complex lesions. This study demonstrates 71 symptomatic predominantly angiographically intermediate lesions that do not benefit from procedures terms overall survival, target vessel patency or clinical symptoms during 12 month follow-up if FFR above 0.75.
