Abstract
Functional coronary angiography (FCA) is a novel modality for assessing the physiology of coronary lesions, going beyond anatomical visualization by traditional coronary angiography. FCA incorporates indices like fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (IFR), which utilize pressure measurements across coronary stenoses to evaluate hemodynamic impacts and to guide revascularization strategies. In this review, we present traditional and evolving modalities and uses of FCA. We will also evaluate the existing evidence and discuss the applicability of FCA in various clinical scenarios. Finally, we provide insight into emerging evidence, current challenges, and future directions in FCA.
