FFR-guided Revascularisation Strategy
In the FFR-group all flow limiting (FFR≤0.80) lesions will receive treatment by PCI and stenting. The non-IRA PCI should be performed during the same intervention. Exceptions can be made for complex lesions where the operator estimates that the revascularisation procedure will require significant contrast overload which may lead to deterioration of cardiac and renal function of the patient. Such procedures can be performed in a second procedure which should take place within the same hospitalisation. All lesions with a FFR measurement of \>0.80 will not be treated. FFR-guided revascularisation strategy: FFR-guided revascularisation strategy
Randomised to Guidelines Group
In the randomised to guidelines group the procedure will stop after the FFR measurements and the patient will be referred to his treating cardiologist who will decide whether a staged PCI of the non-IRA artery should take place. The treating cardiologist will be blinded for the FFR measurements (but not angiographic imaging) and must make a decision based on conventional non-invasive ischemia detecting tests or clinical signs and symptoms i.e. very typical angina symptoms in patients with angiographic significant stenosis). randomised to guidelines group: Staged revascularisation by proven ischemia or persistence of symptoms of angina

n=418 Participants
In the randomised to guidelines group the procedure will stop after the FFR measurements and the patient will be referred to his treating cardiologist who will decide whether a staged PCI of the non-IRA artery should take place. The treating cardiologist will be blinded for the FFR measurements (but not angiographic imaging) and must make a decision based on conventional non-invasive ischemia detecting tests or clinical signs and symptoms i.e. very typical angina symptoms in patients with angiographic significant stenosis). randomised to guidelines group: Staged revascularisation by proven ischemia or persistence of symptoms of angina
FFR-guided Revascularisation Strategy
n=13 Participants
In the FFR-group all flow limiting (FFR≤0.80) lesions will receive treatment by PCI and stenting. The non-IRA PCI should be performed during the same intervention. Exceptions can be made for complex lesions where the operator estimates that the revascularisation procedure will require significant contrast overload which may lead to deterioration of cardiac and renal function of the patient. Such procedures can be performed in a second procedure which should take place within the same hospitalisation. All lesions with a FFR measurement of \>0.80 will not be treated.
