Dr Damien Collison (Golden Jubilee National Hospital, Glasgow, UK) discusses the results of An Evaluation of a Physiology-guided PCI Optimisation Strategy (Target-FFR) Trial. 

The prospective study assessed the feasibility of achieving post-PCI FFR ≥0.90 during standard PCI procedures in consecutive patients.
