If the FFR normalizes after stenting, the restenosis rates at six months is less than 5%. Since the FFR wire can be used for guiding balloon catheters and stents, it is easy to make post procedure measurements without any additional effort. Routine FFR measurement probably lead to more judicious use of stents and improved outcomes.
