Joyce Peper, Leonie M Becker, Jan-Peter van Kuijk, Tim Leiner, Martin J Swaans
Abstract
Abstract: The aim of this review was to discuss the current practice and patient selection for invasive FFR, new techniques to estimate invasive FFR and future of coronary physiology tests. We elaborate on the indication and application of FFR and on the contraindications and concerns in certain patient populations. Keywords: coronary artery disease, fractional flow reserve, patient selection, revascularisation
