Ntalianis A, Sels JW, Davidavicius G, et al, Fractional flow reserve for the assessment of nonculprit coronary artery stenoses in patients with acute myocardial infarction.JACC Cardiovasc Interv. 2010 Dec;3(12):1274-81. doi: 10.1016/j.jcin.2010.08.025.
CONCLUSIONS:
During the acute phase of acute coronary syndromes, the severity of nonculprit coronary artery stenoses can reliably be assessed by FFR. This allows a decision about the need for additional revascularization and might contribute to a better risk stratification.
