FFR post-PCI: what we learned from the FFR-SEARCH study

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT FRACTIONAL FLOW RESERVE AFTER STENTING? The introduction of the concept of fractional flow reserve (FFR) in the mid 90s moved coronary physiology from experimental science to routine use at the cath lab.1-3 Added to the better understanding of basic physiological mechanisms suc...
