Collection description
Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) was introduced in the 1990s as an index of the physiological significance of a coronary stenosis. FFR represents the ratio of maximal blood flow in a stenotic artery as compared with normal maximal flow. In practice, during invasive coronary angiography, FFR is obtained by calculating the ratio of the distal coronary pressure to the aortic pressure (measured with a coronary pressure guidewire and a guiding catheter, respectively). Over time, the benefits of FFR-guided coronary revascularization have been well demonstrated, leading to its incorporation into clinical guidelines. However, FFR suffers from several limitations that were sources of inspiration for this PhD thesis. These limitations have been divided into four chapters addressing: 1) the lack of data supporting the benefit of FFR in terms of improving hard clinical endpoints and the lack of data supporting the benefit of FFR the field of coronary artery bypass graft surgery, 2) the absence of information obtained by FFR on the microcirculation, 3) the risks associated with maneuvering a pressure wire down a coronary artery and 4) the general risks associated with invasive coronary angiography.
