Clinical Conversation in Interventional Cardiology: Angiography-Derived Physiology for Coronary Artery Disease Assessment: Expert Opinion from a SCAI Roundtable
Program Description

Angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) uses data from coronary CT angiography images to estimate the functional severity of coronary artery disease/stenosis, offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional, more invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements. FFRangio is underutilized in interventional oncology. Listen to the discussion on how angiography-based FFR should be integrated into contemporary practice.
