Abstract

Intracoronary-derived, pressure-based fractional flow reserve (FFR) is important for clinical decision-making in patients with 1-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD). In the present study, we investigated the prognostic value of FFR in patients with intermediate stenoses and multivessel CAD. Therefore, we analyzed 107 patients with stable angina pectoris who underwent myocardial perfusion scintigraphy and showed no perfusion defects in the region of the intermediate lesion. At angiography, FFR was determined distal to the intermediate lesion. FFR was abnormal (i.e.,
