The benefits and importance that each of these modalities provide to cardiology is essential, for cardiovascular angiography, and interventions.
An advantage for using FFR is it’s ability to determine if the severity of a coronary stenosis is great enough to warrant revascularization. FFR measurements provide valuable information used in determining the best course of treatment, to revascularize by PCI or by CABG. These measurements have shown to improve patients outcome and decrease their need for future hospitalizations that require needed revascularization.
Another modality used is IVUS. It’s great at determining the best possible location for a stent to be deployed. IVUS is also useful when needing to insure that a deployed stent
