Suboptimal post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) fractional flow reserve (FFR) values have been related to target vessel failure1. In the randomised FFR REACT trial, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided PCI optimisation in patients with a post-PCI FFR <0.90 significantly improved post-PCI FFR values2. The aim of this prespecified subanalysis was to assess the impact of post-PCI IVUS findings in addition to FFR pullback data on operator-defined optimisation strategies, assessed through a dedicated questionnaire.

The rationale and design of the FFR REACT trial have been published previously2. In brief, patients with an angiographically successful PCI and a post-PCI FFR &...
