In All-Comer Approach, FFR Adds No Value to Angiography: RIPCORD 2 - Medscape - Aug 29, 2021. Authors and Disclosures. Authors and Disclosures Author(s) Ted Bosworth. Comments ...

Patients were randomly assigned to FFR-guided or angiography-guided CABG. All had two- or three-vessel disease, with the majority in each group having a diagnosis of stable angina. A heart team ...

Mean FFR at index was 0.78 in the FFR group and 0.77 in the angiography group. A total of 267 coronary arteries were grafted, 37% of which were arterial grafts. Angiographic follow-up after 6 ...

The SWEDEHEART analysis included 17,735 patients who underwent isolated, first-time CABG between 2013 and 2020. Of these, 15.6% had a functional assessment of the stenoses prior to surgery (more than ...

The rate of complications was 1.8% in the FFR group. At 1 year, there was no difference in total hospital costs (P = .137) or quality of life using the EuroQol-5 Dimension Visual Analog Scale (P ...

No benefit to FFR-guided PCI in STEMI patients with multi-vessel disease Multicenter FLOWER-MI trial also finds that alternative approach is not cost effective ...

In patients who had a coronary stent inserted after experiencing the most severe type of heart attack, the use of a technique that measures blood flow and pressure through a partially blocked ...

FFR was ultimately deemed more cost-effective for people with acute MI and multivessel disease, indicated by the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of -$19,484 and incremental net monetary ...

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement as a routine part of coronary angiography in the work-up of angina held no advantages, only risks for patients, the RIPCORD 2 trial showed.

The benefit of fractional flow reserve (FFR)–guided complete revascularization in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease remains ...

Among the 888 patients, 1601 stenoses were eligible for PCI on the basis of angiography, whereas 1304 stenoses were eligible for PCI on the basis of an FFR of 0.80 or less, with a mean (±SD) FFR ...
