    Highlights

    • C-FFRct is a feasible tool and could change the interpretation of both CCTA and FFRct results.
    • C-FFRct could alter the deferral or referral rate for invasive coronary angiography.
    • C-FFRct might lead to change in the management of patients with suspected coronary artery disease.

    Abstract

    Background

    Fractional flow reserve derived from computed tomography (FFRct) has shown higher accuracy for detection of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). The performance of a combined comprehensive qualitative interpretation of both CCTA and FFRct in patient management is unknown. We aimed to explore the clinical application of this combined approach.
