Abstract
The use of fractional flow reserve (FFR) to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is well established in stable angina (SA) but has not been prospectively researched in unstable angina (UA) or non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The FAME (Fractional flow reserve versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation) study compared angiography-guided PCI with FFR-guided PCI in patients with multivessel disease and included patients with SA and UA or NSTEMI. At 2 years, the benefit of using FFR to guide PCI does not differ between patients with UA or NSTEMI, compared with patients with SA.
