Results for tag: "Fractional Flow Reserve"

Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is a medical procedure used to assess the severity of coronary artery disease. It is a non-invasive procedure that uses a pressure wire to measure the pressure gradient across a coronary artery stenosis. The procedure is used to determine the functional significance of a coronary artery stenosis and to guide the decision-making process for revascularization. FFR is used to assess the severity of a coronary artery stenosis and to determine whether a patient should undergo revascularization. FFR is used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests such as angiography and intravascular ultrasound to assess the severity of coronary artery disease. It is also used to guide the decision-making process for revascularization, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The FFR market is composed of a variety of companies that provide products and services related to the procedure. These include medical device manufacturers, such as St. Jude Medical, Philips, and Volcano Corporation, as well as healthcare providers, such as hospitals and clinics. Additionally, there are companies that provide software and services related to the procedure, such as Medtronic, Siemens, and GE Healthcare. Show Less Read more
