A number of studies have sought to correlate intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters with FFR. There is also moves into predicting FFR based upon angiographic data alone [59]. A number of computational algorithms exist with good correlation with invasively measured FFR but larger outcome studies are awaited [60]. Advances in computational power now allow more accurate modelling of flow conditions but anatomical models are limited by their inability to predict the functional status of the distal microvasculature ‐ which is an important determinant of the functional significance of a given stenosis.
