Brief Summary
Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) has recently emerged and has been largely validated as a safe and efficacious way of ischemia testing for patients with stable angina. The new recently ESC guidelines have strongly suggested a FFR based approach for patients with stable angina, also for those with challenging lesions like left main disease, severe multivessel stenosis for heart failure patients and those with single remaining vessels although left main disease and an ejection fraction less than 30% are exclusion criteria of the randomized controlled trials on this topic. Consequently the investigators performed a prospective multicenter study to understand the safety and efficacy of a FFR based approach for these patients.

Study Arms (1)
Patients
patients with stable angina and/or documented ischemia presenting with: * An angiographic stenosis of more than 50% and less than 90% of the left main * Any proximal descending anterior with a stenosis of more than 50% and less than 90% * Two or three vessel disease with a stenosis of more than 50% and less than 90% and a left ventricle ejection fraction less than 40% * Single remaining patent coronary artery with stenosis \>50% and less than 90%
Interventions
The ratio of maximum blood flow to the myocardium with coronary stenosis present, to the maximum equivalent blood flow without stenosis.
Eligibility Criteria
patients with stable angina
You may qualify if:
