Abstract

Invasive measurement of the fractional flow reserve (FFR) allows determination of the hemodynamic relevance of a given coronary artery stenosis. Several clinical trials could demonstrate the superiority of FFR-based decision-making for or against percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in comparison to visual quantification of the severity of a stenosis. These results led to measurement of the FFR being included in the current guideline recommendations on myocardial revascularization. This article elaborates the theoretical background of measurement of the FFR, summarizes the decisive clinical data and provides comprehensive practical instructions for the safe and rapid measurement of FFR in routine clinical practice.
