DEFINE PCI:
Unseen focal lesions cause residual ischemia
The DEFINE PCI study used iFR pullback to understand the rate and causes of residual ischemia in 500 patients undergoing contemporary PCI. Early results find that residual ischemia is common, and causes are treatable.13
Angiographically focal stenosis defined as ≤ 15 mm.13
DEFINE PCI – experts discuss the key finding
Allen Jeremias discusses: DEFINE PCI
Philips provides you with the opportunity to use iFR which is the only clinically validated resting index (recommended by AHA and SCAI) along with FFR. In 2017 Davies et al. and Götberg et al. validated the non-inferiority of iFR compared to FFR .
FFR = Distal Coronary Pressure (Pd) (During maximal hyperemia)
iFR = Distal Coronary Pressure (Pd) (During wave-free period)
FFR A physiology index to determine the functional significance of coronary stenosis. FFR is the ratio of the distal pressure compared to the proximal pressure during maximal blood flow (hyperemia), which can be induced by injecting products such as adenosine or papaverine.
