Key result
FFR-guided PCI decreased the need for urgent revascularization compared to medical therapy alone in patients with stable coronary artery disease and significant stenoses.
Why the study?
Does FFR-guided PCI plus the best available medical therapy reduce the need for urgent revascularization in patients with stable coronary artery disease and functionally significant stenoses?
Does FFR-guided PCI plus the best available medical therapy reduce the need for urgent revascularization in patients with stable coronary artery disease and functionally significant stenoses?
In patients with stable coronary artery disease and functionally significant stenoses, FFR-guided PCI reduces the need for urgent revascularization compared to medical therapy alone.
Supports FFR-guided PCI to reduce urgent revascularization in stable CAD; extends prior RCT evidence for physiologic guidance.
In patients with stable coronary artery disease and functionally significant stenoses, FFR-guided PCI plus the best available medical therapy, as compared with the best available medical therapy alone, decreased the need for urgent revascularization. In patients without ischemia, the outcome appeared to be favorable with the best available medical therapy alone. (Funded by St. Jude Medical; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01132495.).
