Table 2: Summary of Results From the DEFER Study.

Year Patients (n) Participants Endpoint FFR cut-off Adenosine Mean FFR Treatment Event-free survival Primary endpoint P value
2007 325 [comprising: 181 With FFR ≥0.75 randomised to PCI or Defer; 144 with FFR <0.75 allocated to registry] Stable angina patients scheduled for PCI with single-vessel disease Event-free survival Defer if FFR ≥0.75 IV (140 μg/kg/min) or IC (15 μg in the RCA or 20 μg in the LCA) Defer (n=91): 0.87±0.07 Perform (n=90): 0.87±0.06 Registry (n=144): 0.56±0.16 PCI/BMS versus FFR-guided deferral Defer group (n=91) 79 % Perform group (n=90) 73 % 0.52

BMS = bare-metal stent; FFR = fractional flow reserve; IC = intracoronary; IV = intravenous; LCA = left coronary artery; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention; RCA = right coronary artery. Source: Pijls, et al. 2007.
