Why the study?
Does routine measurement of post-PCI FFR using a monorail microcatheter correlate with clinical events at 30 days in patients undergoing PCI?
Does routine measurement of post-PCI FFR using a monorail microcatheter correlate with clinical events at 30 days in patients undergoing PCI?
Routine post-PCI FFR measurement using a monorail microcatheter is safe and feasible but does not predict short-term (30-day) clinical events.

Establishes microcatheter safety for routine post-PCI FFR; leaves open its prognostic role beyond 30 days.
Routine measurement of post-PCI FFR using a monorail microcatheter is safe and feasible. Several lesion and patient characteristics were associated with a low post-PCI FFR. Post-PCI FFR did not correlate with clinical events at 30 days.
