The evaluation of in-stent restenosis (ISR) is usually based on angiographic quantification. This evaluation is sometimes difficult and it has not an accurate clinical correlation. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measured by intracoronary pressure wire has demonstrated its value in determining the functional repercussion of coronary stenosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between quantitative angiography-FFR in borderline in-stent restenotic lesions and the accuracy of FFR in deciding the treatment of ISR.
