Background: Indication for treatment of intermediate coronary artery lesions is wavering. Worldwide studies showed the role of FFR in guiding the treatment for these cases. Objective: To study the outcomes of FFR-guided PCI in intermediate coronary artery lesions. Method: Cohort study with comparative analysis of 12-month MACE between two groups: Medical treatment with FFR > 0.8 and PCI with FFR ≤ 0.8. Results: 40 stenosis lesions with FFR ≤ 0.8 (57.14%) was treated by PCI and 30 stenosis lesions with FFR > 0.8 treated by medical therapy. The percentage stenotic diameter cut-off was >55.62% on QCA with Sp 60% and Se 75%. There was no significant difference in MACE between two groups after 12-month follow-up. Conclusions: FFR has important role in guiding treatment for intermediate coronary artery lesions. Key words: ffR-guided, coronary arery
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
