ACIST-FFR Study (Assessment of Catheter-Based Interrogation and Standard Techniques for Fractional Flow Reserve Measurement) [Coronary Physiologic Assessment and Imaging]

Conclusions— An optical, pressure-monitoring microcatheter measures lower FFR compared with a pressure wire, but the diagnostic impact appears to be minimal in most cases. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT02577484.
