Inverse prognostic value of post-percutaneous coronary intervention fractional flow reserve in patients with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction

Inverse prognostic value of post-percutaneous coronary intervention fractional flow reserve in patients with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction

Since microvascular obstruction carries a poor prognosis, a direct (in contrast to an inverse relationship) relationship between post-PCI FFR value and adverse outcome would have supported this theoretical limitation of FFR in patients with MI. 4 However, it was reassuring to see that these concerns...

Zusammenfassung:Since microvascular obstruction carries a poor prognosis, a direct (in contrast to an inverse relationship) relationship between post-PCI FFR value and adverse outcome would have supported this theoretical limitation of FFR in patients with MI. 4 However, it was reassuring to see that these concerns appear unfounded in the current study.
