Feasibility of coronary angiogram-derived vessel fractional flow reserve in the setting of standard of care percutaneous coronary intervention and its correlation with invasive FFR

Vessel Fractional Flow Reserve (vFFR), a new angiography-derived method for the functional assessment of coronaries, was recently shown to have good correlation with invasive wire-derived FFR, when vFFR-specific image acquisition requirements were followed. We sought to investigate the feasibility of vFFR analysis and its correlation with FFR in the situation where angiography is completed in routine fashion, without intention for virtual analysis.
