Background We hypothesized that in patients with stable coronary artery disease and
stenosis, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performed on the basis of the fractional …

Background: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) has become an established tool for guiding
treatment, but its graded relationship to clinical outcomes as modulated by medical therapy …

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading global cause of morbidity and mortality, and
improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of CAD can reduce the health and economic …

Background—The predictive value of fractional flow reserve (FFR) measured immediately
after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent placement has not …

Patients who undergo coronary bypass graft surgery often require subsequent cardiac
catheterization and repeat coronary revascularization. Saphenous vein graft lesions have …

Background—Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement of intermediate coronary stenoses
is recommended by guidelines when demonstration of ischemia by noninvasive testing is …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate whether fractional flow reserve (FFR)
should be performed for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) to guide the …

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements can determine the haemodynamic relevance of
coronary artery stenoses. Current guidelines recommend their use in lesions in the absence …

Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) continues to be one of the top public health
burden. Perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is generally accepted to …

This Perspective article is a form of 'pastiche', inspired by the 1993 review by Lincoff and
