Abstract:BackgroundPhysiology-guided coronary revascularisation is associated with better outcomes however it is unclear if pressure-derived indices, such as FFR, can reliably assess individual lesions in serial disease.Methods3D printed serial disease phantoms were assessed in vitro. FFR of a lesion was predicted from the size of step up on pressure-wire pullback in the presence of serial lesions (FFR
app
) and compared to phantoms with no accompanying lesion (FFR
true
). Mathematical models to minimise error in predi… Show more
