FFR could become the new criteria for non-infarct related artery(non-IRA) interventional therapy / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Previous studies have found that 40% of patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI) combine with multiple vascular lesions(MVD), which is known as one of the main risks for poor prognosis in patients with myocardial infarction.However,the management of non-IRA remains controversial, and there is no consensus on the management of non-IRA in STEMI. FFR could be a new criteria in non-IRA PCI,since it could evaluate coronary flow reserve more intuitively than coronary angiography alone.
