More Information
Summary:[...]for the multicenter study (NXT [Analysis of Coronary Blood Flow Using CT Angiography: Next Steps]) presented in this issue of the Journal by Nørgaard et al. Similar results were obtained for per-vessel analysis, 30% to 70% stenosis, and for patients with coronary artery calcium Agatston scores >400. [...]FFRCT seems poised to assume the role of gatekeeper to the interventional laboratory for patients with CTA-defined intermediate stenoses, a role initially envisioned for--but not fulfilled by--CTA alone.
