Does routine measurement of fractional flow reserve reduce the risk of death or heart attack by 35 percent after stent placement in patients with multivessel disease? Do we know that stenting ischemia-producing stenoses improves symptoms and outcomes, and that stenting non-ischemic stenoses has no benefit compared to medical treatment only? Can FFR be performed quickly [...]
