Abstract
In patients with obstructive coronary artery disease planned for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), use of pressure wire guidance has become part of routine clinical practice over the last two decades. The concept is straightforward and intuitively attractive: in non-critically stenosed lesions, by measuring pressure difference across the stenosis (a robust surrogate of flow under induced hyperaemia) and restricting intervention only to lesions exhibiting a significant flow reduction, the resources and jeopardy associated with PCI are confined to the patients most likely to benefit from the procedure. Angiographic quantitative flow ratio-guided coronary intervention (FAVOR III China): a multicentre, randomised, sham-controlled trialIn FAVOR III China, among patients undergoing PCI, a QFR-guided strategy of lesion selection improved 1-year clinical outcomes compared with standard angiography guidance.
