Impact of Coronary Lesion Geometry on Fractional Flow Reserve: Data From Interventional Cardiology Research In-Cooperation Society-Fractional Flow Reserve and Intravascular Ultrasound Registry [Original Articles]

Conclusions:
The complex coronary lesion geometries were independently associated with reduced FFR values. The visual–functional mismatch between coronary angiography and FFR could be partly attributable to local geometric factors.
