TLDR
Five-year outcome after deferral of PCI of an intermediate coronary stenosis based on FFR >/=0.75 is excellent and the risk of cardiac death or myocardial infarction related to this stenosis is <1% per year and not decreased by stenting.

Fractional flow reserve versus angiography for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention

TL;DR: Routine measurement of FFR in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease who are undergoing PCI with drug-eluting stents significantly reduces the rate of the composite end point of death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and repeat revascularization at 1 year.

Sirolimus-eluting stents versus standard stents in patients with stenosis in a native coronary artery.

TL;DR: In this randomized clinical trial involving patients with complex coronary lesions, the use of a sirolimus-eluting stent had a consistent treatment effect, reducing the rates of restenosis and associated clinical events in all subgroups analyzed.

Coronary Plaque Disruption

TL;DR: This review will explore potential mechanisms responsible for the sudden conversion of a stable atherosclerotic plaque to an unstable and life-threatening atherothrombotic lesion—an event known as plaque fissuring, rupture, or disruption.

Measurement of Fractional Flow Reserve to Assess the Functional Severity of Coronary-Artery Stenoses

TL;DR: In patients with coronary stenosis of moderate severity, FFR appears to be a useful index of the functional severity of the stenoses and the need for coronary revascularization.
