This is a prospective, observational, single-center study. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of offline computational ultrasonic flow ratio (UFR) in predicting functionally significant left main (LM) coronary stenosis with conventional pressure wire-based fractional flow reserve (FFR) as the standard reference. The study will be conducted in Fuwai Hospital, and a total of 120 patients with intermediated left main coronary vessel diameter stenosis ≥30% and ≤80% are planned to be recruited. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet the exclusion criteria will undergo intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) followed by FFR examination. IVUS imaging will be sent to an independent core laboratory for UFR calculation. UFR analyses were performed offline in a blinded fashion without awareness of FFR measurement. Using FFR≤0.80 as the gold standard, the sensitivity and specificity of UFR in the functional significance of left main coronary artery stenosis will be analyzed.
