摘要:In recent years, the use of coronary functional evaluation derived by fractional flow reserve (FFR) to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment has been recommended by several mainstream guidelines.Typically,FFR > 0.80 in coronary artery indicates the lesions do not affect the coronary blood flow.Therefore, instead of PCI treatment, intensive drug therapy might be more beneficial.However, some lesions with an FFR > 0.80 still progress during the course of follow-up, with increased incidence of cardiovascular events.Additionally, left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) and non-LAD lesions with an FFR >0.80 show different characteristics of progress.Here, we present a highly representative case of coronary artery disease with PCI treatment guided by FFR, hoping that will enable a more in-depth understanding of FFR.
