Why the study?
Does Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR) computation safely and reliably guide coronary revascularization of nonculprit lesions in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel disease?
Does Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR) computation safely and reliably guide coronary revascularization of nonculprit lesions in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel disease?
QFR computation shows potential as a safe and reliable method for guiding the revascularization of nonculprit lesions in patients presenting with STEMI and multivessel disease.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports QFR for nonculprit lesions in STEMI multivessel disease; leaves open randomized confirmation before practice change.
In a limited and selected study population, our study showed that QFR computation may be a safe and reliable tool to guide coronary revascularization of NCLs in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction patients.
