What are the advantages of FFRangio from a clinical perspective compared to the standard FFR?
FFRangio is a new procedure in the clinical setting and has high sensitivity, accuracy, and specificity compared to the standard FFR.
Why do these limitations arise in the patients?
The patients have limitations due to the underestimated severity of coronary stenosis due to the restricted blood flow after administering vasodilators.
FFR is limited in patients with which disorders?
FFR is limited in patients with diffuse coronary disease, left ventricular hypertrophy, and small vessel disease, and hence, they are restricted from undergoing the procedure.
When was the procedure of FFR introduced?
In the 1990s, the FFR procedure was introduced to select physiologically significant stenosis.
Which of the procedures does the coronary revascularization depend on majorly?
Coronary revascularization majorly depends on angiography to analyze the blockage in the blood vessel.
Which technique is used to assess stenosis?
Stenosis is assessed by angiography.
What is the usual range of FFR value?
1.0 is the widely accepted value. Values of FFR below 0.75–0.8 are considered to be associated with myocardial ischemia.
How often is the procedure of FFR used?
FFR is a significantly underutilized procedure which is used for only 6.1% of intermediate coronary stenosis intervention.
Who performs the FFR procedure?
A cardiologist performs the FFR procedure.
How long does the valve last?
The valve typically lasts 5 years but in some cases, it may last 10–15 years.
