Does OUFR With Combined IVUS-OCT Improve Diagnostic Accuracy of Vessel Lesions? – American College of Cardiology
Assessment of vessel lesions using optical ultrasonic flow ratio (OUFR) based on hybrid intravascular ultrasound-optical coherence tomography (IVUS-OCT) is safe and effective and provided better diagnostic performance vs. fractional flow reserve (FFR) than OUFR based on either IVUS or OCT alone, according to a new study published Jan. 14 in JACC: Asia. In this prospective, single-center study, from February 2023 to June 2023, Jiawei Zhao, MD, et al., assessed 80 patients (126 vessels) presenting with
