AB Percutaneous coronary intervention guided by fractional flow reserve plus the best available medical therapy (MT) improves outcomes in patients with stable coronary artery disease compared with optimal MT alone. The benefit is primarily due to a lower rate of rehospitalization for urgent revascularization.
