📣 A rigorous retrospective research study authored by postdoctoral fellow Dr. Chris Koo (co-authors Secemsky, EA; Li, S; Al-Lamee, R; Cohen, D; Fearon, W; Leon, M; Vitberguy, G; Yeh, RW) has been published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions following its presentation at the CRT 2026 conference in Washington, DC (March 7-10).
Dr. Koo's study, which was presented as a Late-Breaking Clinical Trial and Top Abstract at CRT, examines the use of angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (angio-FFR) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries from 2019-2024.
🔍Key findings include:
- Comparable primary outcome rates between angio-FFR and standard pressure wire (PW) recipients in both PCI and non-PCI cohorts
- Notable rapid increase in angio-FFR use between 2023-2024, indicating a rise in real-world adoption of the angio-FFR technology
