Using CT-guided PCI in cath labs is a practice that will spread widely in the coming years, according to experts in a dedicated session at #SCCT2025. Better software and hardware–backed by supporting data–has already made widespread use a reality. www.tctmd.com/news/ct-guid...

🚀 Transform your #PCI pre-planning with #CCTA! Join us on April 23 for a dynamic webinar covering calcium analysis using CCTA, advanced imaging techniques, and a case presentation on managing balloon uncrossable lesions. 📂

Now available at @jaccjournals.bsky.social: CT-guided bifurcation PCI: role of FFR-CT virtual PCI and myocardial mass for pre-procedural planning bit.ly/40xI5Gw by
Dr. Pedro Carvalho CCAD at MHIF #CT4PCI

Great educational case! The correlation between FFR and resting gradients is ok, but far from perfect (R values ~0,8).
The answer to this case is nicely demonstrated in the paper below: Resting gradients tend to underestimate focal stenosis due to low friction. doi.org/10.1161/CIRC...

See case resolution.

Messages: 1) caution w/ resting gradients in focal lesions, 2) if need to compare FFR-CT: compare to FFR, 3) hyperemic FFR pullback will demonstrate focality, 4) correlation between FFR-CT & FFR

Abnormal coronary CT angiography with FFR-CT 0.72 followed by invasive coronary angiography with NHPR (RFR) 0.94: PCI or defer?
