In DM patients with FFR negative lesions, insulin requiring DM and prior revascularization are predictors for DLF. In contrast to non-DM patients, no predictive relationship between absolute negative FFR values (ranging >0.80-1.00) and the risk of DLF exists in DM patients. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
