Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
The investigators propose a single center prospective study that will assess two different
strategies for measuring Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) in patients undergoing
clinically-indicated coronary angiography in whom FFR measurement is indicated. FFR will be
measured with a non-side hole guide catheter (with the guide catheter both engaged and
disengaged from the coronary ostium) and with a side-hole guide catheter (with the guide
catheter both engaged and disengaged from the coronary ostium) to determine, whether
measurements obtained with an engaged side-hole guide catheter are more accurate as compared
with those obtained with the engaged non-side hole catheter.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Undergoing a clinically indicated coronary catheterization

- Need FFR of a coronary artery lesion

- Agree to participate and able to provide informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

- Significant difficulty advancing the pressure measuring guidewire into the coronary
artery

- Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

- Severe ostial disease (>70% diameter stenosis within 5 mm from the coronary artery
ostium)
