The Future of Coronary Imaging and Physiology-Discussion: Physiology and Relying on the FFR

Discussion: Physiology and Relying on the FFR

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript revolves around a discussion on physiology and the use of FFR (fractional flow reserve) in assessing coronary vessels, particularly in cases involving lemanastomosis. The panel explores the challenges and limitations in interpreting FFR values in grafts and the importance of considering the entire vessel rather than focusing solely on FFR. The conversation also touches on the potential impact of collaterals, pseudo stenosis, and the need for stress testing or other validation methods. The transcript concludes with a discussion on CTO (chronic total occlusion) interventions and the possible effect on FFR values. No credits mentioned.
