In this episode, Dr Aaysha Cader speaks with Dr Birgitte Andersen about the latest findings from the FAVOR III Europe trial, recently published in EuroIntervention.
The conversation explores the 2-year follow-up comparing quantitative flow ratio (QFR) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) in coronary physiology assessment. Particular attention is given to the key outcome that QFR did not demonstrate non-inferiority at one year, raising important questions about reproducibility and variability in clinical practice.
Dr Andersen discusses potential explanations for these findings, including early event rate differences, and reflects on what this means for clinical decision-making. The episode also highlights the need for further research to better identify patient populations that may benefit most from angiography-based physiological assessment.
