Abstract The European Bifurcation Club (EBC) was initiated in 2004 to support a continuous
overview of the field of coronary artery bifurcation interventions and aims to facilitate a …

Background: Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) is a novel angiography-based method for deriving
fractional flow reserve (FFR) without pressure wire or induction of hyperemia. The accuracy …

Objectives The aim of this prospective multicenter study was to identify the optimal approach
for simple and fast fractional flow reserve (FFR) computation from radiographic coronary …

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a functional index quantifying the severity of coronary artery
lesions and is clinically obtained using an invasive, catheter-based measurement. Recently …

Background—Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) is a novel diagnostic modality for functional
testing of coronary artery stenosis without the use of pressure wires and induction of …

Coronary bifurcations are involved in 15-20% of all percutaneous coronary interventions
(PCI) and remain one of the most challenging lesions in interventional cardiology in terms of …

Pressure wire–based fractional flow reserve is considered the standard of reference for
evaluation of the ischemic potential of coronary stenoses and the expected benefit from …

X-ray coronary angiography is a primary imaging technique for diagnosing coronary
diseases. Although quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) provides morphological …

Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in the United
