The use of FFR PCI optimization strategy in the treatment of long coronary artery lesions is associated with a higher incidence of poor functional PCI result and larger myocardial ischemia burden at follow-up compared to the IVUS optimization strategy. However, this discrepancy did not translate into a statistically significant difference in clinical outcomes. This study highlights the importance of using IVUS to optimize long lesions functional PCI outcomes.
