NCT03052803
Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to compare different devices available to measure fractional flow reserve (FFR) in coronary arteries.
Detailed Description:
The decision to perform a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is usually based on angiographic results alone. Angiography can be used for the visual evaluation of the inner diameter of a vessel. Visual evaluation is limited by inter-individual variability.
Fractional flow reserve provides a functional evaluation, by measuring the pressure decline caused by a vessel narrowing.
The original studies validating the use of FFR were conducted with only one device (St-Jude Medical®). Recently, new FFR devices have been commercialized but have not yet been compared.
