Abstract

The favorable impact of fractional flow reserve measurements on the decision-making and overall outcomes of percutaneous coronary artery intervention is well established. However, the clinical application of fractional flow reserve in surgical revascularizations is still debated. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review on the current potential role of fractional flow reserve guidance in coronary artery bypass grafting.
