Brief summary

This study is a prospective, randomized, multi-center, open label trial to compare the clinical outcomes and effectiveness of Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) versus Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) guided Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with intermediate coronary artery lesion.

Detailed description

This trial is a prospective, randomized, open label, two arm designed multi-center trial. When diagnostic coronary angiogram shows that the target lesion is intermediate stenosis, IVUS and/or FFR will be performed in order to decide PCI or defer by 1:1 randomization. The patients would be followed up to 2 years clinically.
