Potential benefits of using i. FR • Improve patient experience 1, 2 • Avoid off-label use of adenosine in USA • Time savings 1 • Costs savings 1 • Avoid rare but serious complications 1 Under assessment in (1) DEFINE-FLAIR, (2) i. FR-Swede. Heart studies
i. FR provides simple and easy co-registration of physiology with anatomy
Translating i. FR from a research tool into clinical practice Evidence against the ‘gold standard’ Safe and cost-effective Commercially available Clinical outcomes 7

Why are we still using adenosine for physiological assessment?
Adenosine, a significant barrier to FFR adoption “If only adenosine were not so : difficult to mix, costly, time consuming, uncomfortable for the patient, and (rarely) potentially dangerous…. FFR would be easier to perform and therefore would be used more often” • M Kern, On the search for an “easy” FFR: Submaximal hyperemia and NTG-induced translesional pressure drop (Pd/Pa-NTG), Cathet.

DEFINE-FLAIR: Study hypotheses and aims Study hypotheses In patients with coronary stenoses suitable for physiological assessment with FFR, the decision to perform coronary revascularisation based on i. FR measurements is: • Non-inferior to FFR in terms of safety and efficacy • Superior to FFR in terms of cost-effectiveness Aim • Comparison of clinical outcomes of patients whose treatment has been guided by i. FR vs those whose treatment has been guided by FFR If both study hypotheses are confirmed • i. FR could be used in a similar manner to FFR for the assessment of physiological stenosis severity • i. FR could lead to improved healthcare cost efficiencies DEFINE FLAIR. https: //clinicaltrials. gov/ct 2/show/NCT 02053038. Accessed December 8, 2016. 15
