Key result
Angiographically successful PCI leaves ~68% of patients with suboptimal post-procedural FFR below 0.90.
Why the study?
An angiographically successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is not always physiologically optimized.

Highlights the utility of virtual percutaneous coronary intervention planning across the coronary care pathway, noting that angiographically successful PCI is frequently not physiologically optimized.
An angiographically successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is not always physiologically optimized. In TARGET-FFR (Trial of Angiography versus pressure-Ratio Guided Enhancement Techniques - Fractional Flow Reserve), 68.1% of patients had a fractional flow reserve (FFR) <0.90 after PCI was judged complete.1
