N2 - Fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), along with optimal medical therapy, improves clinical outcome by targeting ischemia-inducing stenosis. Yet, plaque progression or stent failure may cause recurring cardiac events. We assessed the potential prognostic role of different inflammatory biomarkers, known to be associated with plaque progression or stent failure, in patients undergoing FFR-guided PCI.
