    iFR is now recommended by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines 8

    iFR/FFR to identify hemodynamically relevant coronary lesion(s) in stable patients when evidence of ischemia is not available

    FFR-guided PCI in patients with multivessel disease.

    DEFINE PCI:

    Unseen focal lesions cause residual ischemia

    The DEFINE PCI study used iFR pullback to understand the rate and causes of residual ischemia in 500 patients undergoing contemporary PCI. Early results find that residual ischemia is common, and causes are treatable.13

    The power of choice

     

    Philips provides you with the opportunity to use iFR which is the only clinically validated resting index (recommended by AHA and SCAI) along with FFR. In 2017 Davies et al. and Götberg et al. validated the non-inferiority of iFR compared to FFR .

    coronary pressure

    FFR = Distal Coronary Pressure (Pd)

    Promixal Coronary Pressure (Pa)

    (During maximal hyperemia)

    Distal Coronary Pressure

    iFR = Distal Coronary Pressure (Pd)

    Promixal Coronary Pressure (Pa)

    (During wave-free period)

    FFR image guided therapy

    FFR

    A physiology index to determine the functional significance of coronary stenosis. FFR is the ratio of the distal pressure compared to the proximal pressure during maximal blood flow (hyperemia), which can be induced by injecting products such as adenosine or papaverine.

    iFR

    iFR provides a hyperemia-free measurement in as few as five heartbeats. Pressure and flow correlate when resistance is consistant P = Q * R. iFR is measured during the wave-free period when resistance is naturally constant.

    The Cardiovascular Center of Catania prefers to use iFR over FFR, for its savings on time, contrast and stents. They are frequent users of iFR Scout and iFR Co-Registration.

    iFR Scout

     

    • Provides beat-by-beat pressure measurements across the entire vessel, artery by artery
    • Establishes the physiological significance of each vessel and/or individual lesion (focal or diffuse)
    • Provides a clear view of the functional gain from treating
    • Facilitates multiple assessments before, during and after the procedure (without the need for hyperemia)

    ifr co reg

    iFR Co-Registration

     

    • Visualization of pressure gradients to facilitate stent planning on SyncVision system
    • Provides mapping of physiology information into the anatomy image
    • Allows length measurement to be made on to the angiogram
    • Seamless integration into your PCI
    • Provides iFR estimated value post-stenting allowing for virtual stenting functionality

    Davide Capodanno MD and Alessio La Manna MD, practicing interventional cardiologists at University of Catania explain the advantages of iFR Co-Registration to optimally treat diffuse disease in the LAD.

    LAD deferral is safer with iFR

     

     

    Sen etal . (2019, JACC), Deferral of LAD revascularization based on iFR appears to be safe and is associated with 53% lower MACE rates when compared against FFR.

    “In this study, we have clearly demonstrated that it is safe to defer on the basis of iFR. If I see a patient with an LAD lesion, I'm only reassured for medical therapy if the iFR is negative.”
