FAME III, a multi-centric randomized controlled trial compared fractional flow reserve (FFR) guided percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) with coronary artery bypass grafting. The study confirmed that compared with FFR-guided-PCI, coronary artery bypass grafting was associated with a significantly lower incidence of the composite of mortality, stroke, MI, and repeat revascularizations at 1 year. Thus, FFR-guided-PCI failed to meet the "noninferiority" criteria.
