The impact of post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) fractional flow reserve (FFR) has been assessed in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). In this touchCARDIO interview, we speak with Dr Zsolt Piroth (Gottsegen National Cardiovascular Institute, Budapest, Hungary) to discuss the prognostic value for measuring post-PCI FFR and intravascular imaging in CAD.
