Abstract
Background of the study: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an invasive index that state the functional significance of severity of coronary stenosis which can be applied for simple as well as complex lesion assessment along with coronary angiography. This FFRICO study was designed to evaluate the utility of FFR for intermediate coronary lesions (50-70% diameter stenosis) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and their clinical outcome in Indian patients. It also compares the clinical outcomes among patients who underwent revascularization versus those kept under medical follow-up based on FFR assessment.
