Assessment of Catheter-based Interrogation and Standard Techniques for Fractional Flow Reserve Measurement

Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Interventions
Device: RXi System
Device: Pressure Wire
Registration Number
NCT02577484
Lead Sponsor
Acist Medical Systems
Brief Summary

This study will assess the differences between Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) measurements made by the Navvus catheter and a commercially available pressure guidewire in up to 240 subjects where FFR is clinically indicated. All subjects will receive diagnostic treatment according to clinical indications and center standard practice.

Detailed Description

The ACIST-FFR study is a prospective, open label, observational, multi-center study designed to assess the differences, if any, between FFR measured by the Navvus catheter and a commercially available 0.014-inch pressure guidewire (St. Jude Medical, Volcano, hereafter referred to as the PW) in subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing coronary angiography. This will be accomplished by comparing the FFR measurement obtained with the ACIST Medical Systems RXi System and Navvus catheter with the FFR measurement obtained by using a PW within the same subject across the same target lesion at the same time.
