Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Current participant inclusion criteria as of 14/07/2021: 1. A focal lesion on angiography (at least 50% diameter stenosis) in a coronary artery 2. One of the following: 2.1. A second focal lesion (at least 50% diameter stenosis) which the operator would consider treating with separate (non-overlapping) stents 2.2. A segment of diffuse disease 3. Target vessel diameter of at least 2.5 mm, suitable for passing a pressure wire Previous participant inclusion criteria: 1. A focal lesion on angiography (at least 50% diameter stenosis) in a coronary artery and either a second focal lesion (at least 50% diameter stenosis) or a segment of diffuse disease, which the operator would consider treating with separate (non-overlapping) stents 2. A vessel diameter of at least 2.5 mm, suitable for passing a pressure wire

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) 2. Target vessel is considered the culprit for an Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) <72 hours before consent 3. Vessels protected by a graft with a history of previous coronary artery bypass grafting 4. Age <18 years 5. Unable to provide written informed consent (IC) 6. Known pregnancy or breastfeeding at time of randomisation

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The accuracy of iFR Pullback (Volcano Phillips) and FFR Pullback (Abbott/Coroventis) at predicting the final Fractional Flow Reserve (ratio of distal and aortic pressures) after treatment of one lesion in serial coronary artery disease, measured using physiological intracoronary pressure measurements taken during an angioplasty procedure (baseline)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary efficacy outcomes: Change in management strategy following full physiological evaluation of serial coronary artery disease, assessed by operator questionnaire responses during the procedure (baseline) Secondary exploratory outcomes: Major adverse cardiovascular events (target vessel revascularisation, myocardial infarction, stroke, death), obtained through follow-up telephone calls at 30 days and 1 year
