Abstract
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a well-validated index for assessing the physiologic significance of a coronary stenosis in most clinical conditions encountered in today's catheterisation laboratory. The aim of this paper is to provide a short overview of the theoretical background of the coronary pressure-derived FFR index and its clinical applicability in guiding complex coronary intervention procedures.Entities:
