Physiology- or Imaging-Guided Strategies for Intermediate Coronary Stenosis.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Treatment strategies for intermediate coronary lesions guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR) and intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) have shown comparable outcomes. Identifying low-risk deferred vessels to ensure the safe deferral of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and high-risk revascularized vessels that necessitate thorough follow-up can help determine optimal treatment strategies.

Objectives

To investigate outcomes according to treatment types and FFR and IVUS parameters after FFR- or IVUS-guided treatment.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study included patients with intermediate coronary stenosis from the Fractional Flow Reserve and Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Intervention Strategy for Clinical Outcomes in Patients With In
