CCTA with FFR CT
Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA)
Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is a highly accurate, noninvasive test for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). CCTA produces images of the heart’s arteries in order to determine plaque build-up and narrowing of the arteries. Adding fractional flow reserve (FFR) to a CCTA allows radiologists to offer a more precise evaluation of the severity of CAD.
Benefits of CCTA with FFR CT
Who is CCTA with FFR CT for?
A physician may request the addition of an FFR-CT analysis to a CCTA, because of its ability to add physiologic information to the anatomical information provided by the CCTA.
Indications for performing FFRCT
- Patients with 40-90% stenosis on a Coronary CTA in the setting of uncertain physiologic significance
Key Insights
- Both anatomical and functional information provided allows for precise evaluation of the severity of CAD
- Can assist physicians with personalized treatment strategies
- Reduces likelihood for additional invasive follow-up studies
- Noninvasive
- According to a study published by the National Institute of Health (NIH), CCTA with added FFR CT “led to a reduction in (invasive) diagnostic testing and less revascularizations.”*
