45 Fractional flow reserve is a very accurate and reproducible method to assess hemodynamic severity of coronary artery stenoses FFR adds significant prognostic information in patients with one-vessel or multivessel coronary artery disease, in-stent restenosis, post-stent implantation, left main coronary artery stenosis and post-myocardial infarction The incidence of myocardial infarction and revascularization of coronary artery stenoses with an FFR>0.8 is very low for at least 2 years after FFR measurements

46 Robust data show that FFR is cost-effective since both it improves outcomes and saves resources FFR CT is a very promising non-invasive tool in obtaining similar functional information to invasive FFR FFR should be implemented to decide if PCI is appropriate or not and IVUS or OCT to guide PCI
