Diagnostic performance of wireless fractional flow reserve: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The aim of this study was to evaluate diagnostic performance of wireless fractional flow reserve (FFR) used in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

Material and methods

PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and Clinical trial.gov databases were searched by computer search and manual retrieval. The search terms included fractional flow reserve, quantitative coronary angiography, computational fluid dynamics and CAD. The meta-analysis was conducted with Stata12.0. Clinical outcomes included accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (+LR), negative likelihood ratio (-LR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and area under the receiver operating curve.

Results

Nine studies comprising 2052 vessels were included in the present meta-analysis. The
