Brief summary

This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of IVUS-calculated percent atheroma volume (PAV) for diagnosing functional myocardial ischemia, using FFR as the gold standard.

Detailed description

This prospective, single-site, single-group target-value study aims to investigate the accuracy of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-based plaque characteristics in diagnosing functional myocardial ischemia, using coronary fractional flow reserve (FFR) as the gold standard.
