Abstract
Most invasive coronary imaging modalities only provide anatomical information from which physiologic significance is inferred. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) and other physiologic indices of lesion severity are more reliable methods to identify physiologically significant lesions. Currently, accomplishing both anatomic and physiologic interrogation of an intermediate coronary stenosis requires the use of multiple devices within the coronary artery.
