Cardiovascular disease is the greatest cause of death worldwide. Atherosclerosis is the
underlying pathology responsible for two thirds of these deaths. It is the age‐dependent …

Although clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are improving,
the long-term risk for target vessel failure remains concerning. Although the application of …

Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is most commonly guided by
angiography alone. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance has been shown to reduce …

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the incidence and causes of an abnormal
instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) after angiographically successful percutaneous …

Objectives The aim of this study was to identify the post–percutaneous coronary intervention
(PCI) target value of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) that would best discriminate clinical …

Background Post–percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) fractional flow reserve (FFR)<
0.90 is common and has been related to impaired patient outcome. Objectives The authors …

Abstract Purpose of Review Three-dimensional quantitative coronary angiography-based
methods of fractional flow reserve (FFR) derivation have emerged as an appealing …

Background: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) after percutaneous coronary intervention is a
predictor of adverse cardiovascular events during follow-up. However, the rationale for low …

Background: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the current gold standard to determine
hemodynamic severity of angiographically intermediate coronary lesions. Much less is …

Aims: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) can be used to detect a suboptimal result after
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A lower post-procedure FFR (< 0.90) has been …
