 While few publications regarding the use of CT-FFR specifically address the cost of diagnostic work-up for obstructive disease, it is clear that the cost structure resulting from changes in diagnostic testing will also change. Deferral or avoidance of cardiac catheterization and nuclear stress testing will likely yield significant reductions in the cost of the diagnostic testing. In addition, because the results of the CT-FFR are available in the ED, CT-FFR has the potential to offer financial savings from reduced length of stay, while increasing patient satisfaction and reducing exposure to increased risk related to the emergency department environment.
