AI Article Synopsis

  • Intravascular imaging-derived physiology is a new technique that helps evaluate both the structure and function of blood vessel lesions at the same time.
  • Recent advancements have introduced optical coherence tomography and intravascular ultrasound methods to calculate fractional flow reserve (FFR) using various computational techniques.
  • The review discusses the available imaging-based FFR indices, how well they work in diagnosing issues, and their potential uses in clinical settings.*

Article Abstract

Intravascular imaging-derived physiology is emerging as a promising tool allowing simultaneous anatomic and functional lesion assessment. Recently, several optical coherence tomography-based and intravascular ultrasound-based fractional flow reserve (FFR) indices have been developed that compute FFR through computational fluid dynamics, fluid dynamics equations, or machine-learning methods. This review aims to provide an overview of the currently available intravascular imaging-based physiologic indices, their diagnostic performance, and clinical application.
