Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) Versus Instant Wave-Free Ratio (iFR)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Comparison of Fractional Flow Reserve versus instant Wave-Free Ratio for assessment of coronary artery stenosis severity in routine practice
-
To compare FFR to iFR in arbitrary consecutive patients referred for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
-
To investigate the influence of hyperemia on iFR.
-
To test reproducibility of iFR and FFR.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Comparison of Fractional Flow Reserve vs. instant Wave-Free Ratio for assessment of coronary artery stenosis severity in routine practice [30 days]
In this prospective, multicenter, international investigation, all consecutive patients in 5 centers, referred for PCI will be included. FFR will be submitted for one vessel in each patient - this will be the first vessel in which the FFR is performed. Measurements will be performed in duplicate. iFR will be calculated for all lesions for which an FFR measurement is submitted. In addition, iFR and FFR will be compared retrospectively in 1000 patients who had FFR measurements in the recent past
Secondary Outcome Measures
- iFR at rest vs iFr during hyperemia [30 days]
iFR is said to be independent of hyperemia. Accordingly a secondary outcome of this study will be a paired comparison of iFR at rest vs iFr with adenosine induced hyperemia.
- Repeatability of iFr and FFR [30 days]
To test repeatability of iFR and FFR
