Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measured after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) carries prognostic information. Yet, myocardial mass subtended by a stenosis influences FFR. We hypothesized that a smaller coronary lumen volume and a large myocardial mass might be associated with lower post-PCI FFR.
