Why the study?
Is Computed Tomography-Derived Fractional Flow Reserve (CT-FFR) safe, feasible, and accurate for coronary evaluation in patients with severe aortic stenosis?
Is Computed Tomography-Derived Fractional Flow Reserve (CT-FFR) safe, feasible, and accurate for coronary evaluation in patients with severe aortic stenosis?
CT-FFR is a feasible and potentially accurate non-invasive tool for evaluating coronary artery disease in patients with severe aortic stenosis prior to valve replacement.
Supports further CT-FFR investigation pre-TAVR; leaves open clinical adoption pending larger validation studies.
CT-FFR is safe and feasible in patients with severe aortic stenosis. Our data suggests that the diagnostic accuracy of CT-FFR in this cohort potentially enables its use in clinical practice and provides the foundation for future research into the use of CT-FFR for coronary evaluation pre-aortic valve replacement.
