Brief Summary
The overall purpose of Flash FFR Ⅱ is to investigate whether coronary angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (caFFR), compared with fractional flow reserve (FFR) measured by a pressure wire, has non-inferior clinical effect and cost benefit in guiding the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with moderate coronary artery stenosis in terms of long-term clinical prognosis.

Study Arms (2)
caFFR-guided
EXPERIMENTALParticipants who are randomly assigned to caFFR-guided group will receive the detection of Coronary Angiography-Derived Fractional Flow Reserve (caFFR) Measurement System. The online caFFR value is used to guide the PCI strategy. If caFFR ≤ 0.80, PCI treatment will be performed in lesions and optimal medicine treatment will be performed when caFFR \> 0.80.
FFR-guided
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants who are randomly assigned to FFR-guided group will receive the detection of pressure wire. The FFR value is used to guide the PCI strategy. If FFR ≤ 0.80, PCI treatment will be performed in lesions and optimal medicine treatment will be performed when FFR \> 0.80.
Interventions
caFFR is a new index of physiological assessment of coronary artery stenosis severity, based on angiographic images. Through two-dimensional analysis and three-dimensional reconstruction of two coronary angiography image series with an angle-off \> 30 degrees, combined with fluid mechanics, TIMI frame counting method, and optimized CFD algorithm, the pressure drop from coronary ostium to every point in the vessel can be obtained, and then the caFFR value of each point in the vessel can be computed. The cutoff value in this trial is caFFR ≤ 0.80 for myocardial ischemia.
FFR is a widely used, pressure-based functional assessment index of coronary stenoses obtained with an intracoronary pressure wire fitted with pressure sensors. The pressure wire passes through the stenosis and directly measures the pressure distal to the stenosis. FFR value can be obtained by combining the pressure at the coronary ostium and the distal pressure to the stenosis. The cutoff value in this trial is FFR ≤ 0.80 for myocardial ischemia.
Eligibility Criteria

- Masking Details
- In the Flash FFR II study, clinical outcome assessors (including the follow-up research personnel, clinical events committee (CEC), data and safety monitoring board (DSMB), and core laboratory) will be blinded to randomization arm. The data safety monitoring board (DSMB) may request unblinding of grouping information due to patient safety reasons. All the study site personnel will receive training for the blinding requirements before the trial initiating to prevent disclosure of random assignment to the follow-up personnel in any unplanned way.
