Association between post-PCI vessel fractional flow reserve (vFFR) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings: Results from the FAST OCT study
vFFR was significantly associated with MLA and a vFFR ≤ 0.92 had a good specificity to detect an MLA ≤ 4.5 mm<sup>2</sup>. Post-PCI vFFR and segmental gradients may be of interest to identify suboptimal MLA's and proximal disease, but could not identify stent underexpansion.
