Dr Ricardo Petraco (Imperial College London, London, UK) joins us to discuss the role of instantaneous wave-free ratio in coronary procedure planning, sharing practical guidance on optimising the iFR workflow alongside the latest supporting evidence.

Interview Questions:

1. What is the current evidence base supporting iFR as a procedure planning tool?
2. How does iFR integrate into the catheterisation laboratory workflow in practice?
3. Where does iFR add the most value in guiding revascularisation decisions?
4. What are the most common practical pitfalls when using iFR, and how can they be avoided?
5. What are your key take-home messages for operators looking to optimise their iFR workflow?
