Dear Editor,
We read with interest Bellenger et als description of the determination of fractional flow reserve (FFR) to guide treatment of side branch arteries following provisional stenting across a bifurcation. The use of pressure wires to guide treatment of main vessel narrowings (1) and ambigious stenoses in multi-vessel disease (2) and ACS (3) is established.
Based on their preliminary findings, tha...
