Summary

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
