Speaker: Dr Sukhjinder Nijjer, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, London, UK
Dr Sukhjinder Nijjer discusses the role of physiology in patients with diffuse and tandem coronary artery disease.
Key learning objectives:
- Using FFR where tandem lesions are present, it is difficult to discriminate true physiological stenosis severity
- iFR-Scout is easy to perform and measures physiological significance along the length of the artery without the need for adenosine
- iFR is relatively independent of influence for tandem lesions within the normal autonomic range
- iFR-Scout can be used to predict the likely post-PCI physiology result
