The innovative software "CAAS vFFR" by Pie Medical Imaging for the non-invasive physiological assessment of intermediate coronary lesions is the subject of FAST III, a multicenter European clinical trial which will investigate the effectiveness of the vessel Fractional Flow Reserve (vFFR) guided revascularization as compared to conventional FFR guided revascularization.
Maastricht, 7th December 2021 - Pie Medical Imaging (“PMI”), a global leader in cardiac imaging, part of the Esaote Group, today announced the beginning of FASTIII, a multicenter randomized clinical trial which will investigate the use of angiography-based vessel fractional flow reserve (CAAS vFFR) in patients undergoing coronary revascularization procedures.
The FASTIII trial, that is led by Dr. Joost Daemen (cardiologist at the Thoraxcenter at the Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands), is an investigator initiated international, multi-center randomized, non-inferiority trial aiming to enroll a total of 2228 patients, in 7 European countries and 35 hospitals and is sponsored by the European Cardiovascular Research Institute (ECRI).
