SCAI 2026 Angio-Derived Physiology: Data, Technology, and Clinical Integration-How Angio-Derived FFR Works and Clinical Data, Dr. Prasad

How Angio-Derived FFR Works and Clinical Data, Dr. Prasad

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker explains why coronary physiology matters beyond 2D angiography, noting that visual estimates can miss lesion severity and lead to unnecessary or missed stenting. They review benefits of FFR-guided PCI and why adoption remains low, especially for wire-based methods that add risk, time, cost, and technical challenges. They then introduce an AI-powered, image-based angiography physiology system that builds a 3D coronary model from optimal angiograms and estimates lesion significance without a wire. Key advantages include easier use, multi-vessel assessment, pullback analysis, and potential to reduce invasive complications.
