Abstract
F ollowing the diagnostic success of noninvasive coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) assessment of coronary anatomy, the additional value of coronary CTA – based fractional fl ow reserve (FFR-CT) promises to reduce the number of downstream invasive diagnostic procedures in patients with intermediate stenosis on coronary CTA. 1 However, current trials and analyses concerning coronary CTA and FFR-CT are based on the population of patients with low and intermediate probabilities of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Growing experience with FFR-CT, its recent introduction into clinical practice guidelines
