Functional Syntax Score: A Better Approach to MV PCI • In multivessel CAD, FFR can reduce/increase number of vessels needing rx– CABG vs PCI vs Med rx as indicated by ischemia. • Complex Anatomy can be simplified by FFR • Treating ischemia with OMT and revascularization better than OMT alone (FAME II).
