Key Points Question To what extent is the association of pre–percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) fractional flow reserve (FFR) with clinical outcomes explained by the association of pre-PCI FFR with post-PCI FFR? Findings In this cohort study of 1488 patients, low pre-PCI FFR was significantly associated with target vessel failure but not mediated by post-PCI FFR. Meaning The results of this study suggest that the prognostic information of pre-PCI FFR may not be associated with the results of PCI, represented as post-PCI FFR, indicating that the prognostic information of pre-PCI FFR may mainly reflect the global atherosclerotic burden of the artery, not the extent of the modifiable epicardial stenosis.
