Intravascular ultrasound-derived virtual fractional flow reserve in the superficial femoral artery.
Article in CVIR endovascular, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFractional flow reserve (FFR) can be estimated by analysis of intravascular imaging in a coronary artery; however, there are no data for estimated FFR in an extremity artery. The aim of this concept-generating study was to determine whether it is possible to estimate the value of peripheral FFR (PFFR) by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) analysis also in femoropopliteal artery lesions.
methodsBetween April 2022 and February 2023, PFFR was measured before endovascular therapy in 31 stenotic femoropopliteal artery lesions. High-definition IVUS measurement was simultaneously performed in automatic pullback mode in 6 of those 31 lesions. IVUS-derived PFFR was calculated by an algorithm based on fluid dynamics as the following equation: ΔP = FV + SV
resultsThe values of IVUS-derived PFFR and actual PFFR were similar: 0.73 and 0.72, 0.87 and 0.92, 0.90 and 0.92, 0.66 and 0.73, and 0.79 and 0.72, respectively. In one case in which run-off of the below-the-knee artery was poor, PFFR (0.91) was higher than the IVUS-derived PFFR (0.73).
conclusionVirtual PFFR in the superficial femoral artery can be estimated from IVUS analysis.
