Noninvasive Angiographic-Derived FFR: Is Wireless Physiology Coming to Your Cath Lab Soon?
02/06/2018
When FFRCT and angio-derived FFR technology ultimately become more widely available, they will radically change the way diagnostic angiography is performed in the same way that invasive FFR changed the way we approach patients needing...

iFR - The New Kid in Coronary Physiology. Results of 2 Outcome Trials: DEFINE-FLAIR and SWEDEHEART
04/30/2017
iFR is non-inferior to FFR and associated with fewer stents/CABG procedures. However, compared to FFR, there are no long-term outcome or independent ischemic testing validation data. Currently, FFR remains the comparative standard for iFR.
