Results from a comprehensive analysis demonstrate the effectiveness of measuring a non-hyperemic pressure ratio (NHPR), pressure distal/pressure aortic (Pd/Pa) alongside fractional flow reserve (FFR) post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This prospective study validates the diagnostic accuracy of Pd/Pa in identifying residual ischemia post intervention against the reference standard, FFR. The study is scheduled to be presented on Wednesday, May 22, 2019 at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) 2019 Scientific Sessions.
