The investigators aimed to identify the value of concordance between the diastolic hyperemia-free ratio (DFR) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) during pre-interventional and post-interventional period using a 0.014" COMET II Pressure Guidewire
The physiologic assessment of coronary artery disease and ischemia-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become a standard practice for patients with coronary artery disease. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) represents hyperemic flow limitation caused by an epicardial coronary stenosis and its clinical usefulness has been proven by many clinical studies. However, the FFR is limited to clinical use despite the fact that it is recommended by the guideline due to the inconvenience of patients using medications used to induce maximum hyperemia, and the need for additional procedure time. Recently, a physiologic index which does not require hyperemia, instantaneous wave free ratio (iFR), was introduced and recent trials showed non-inferiority of iFR-guided strategy for 1-year clinical outcome, compared with FFR-guided strategy. Recently, not only iFR but also various intravascular pressure measurement techniques have been developed, one of which is diastolic hyperemia-free ratio (DFR). DFR uses the mean Pd/Pa calculated over the period in diastole defined as that during which arterial pressure is negatively sloped and below the mean arterial pressure. DFR showed equivalence as compared to gold standard FFR in the discrimination of non-culprit lesions requiring revascularization in patients with NSTEMI. In the case of DFR, there is no issue in terms of safety because it is conducted in the same way as iFR, but there are not many studies on the validation between DFR and FFR. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify the quality of concordance between DFR and FFR, determine the features associated with discrepancies in DFR and FFR.

Comparison of pre-interventional value between DFR <=0.89 and FFR <=0.80
Efficacy and correlation of two invasive indexes of functional assessment by intracoronary pressure guidance in intermediate lesions with a cut-off point to defer the treatment of FFR\< = 0.80 (with intravenous sigmart) and DFR \< = 0.89.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Comparison of the value between DFR <=0.89 and Pd/Pa <=0.92
Efficacy and correlation of two invasive indexes of functional assessment by intracoronary pressure guidance in intermediate lesions with a cut-off point to defer the treatment of and DFR \< = 0.89 and Pd/Pa \<=0.92. Pd/Pa (resting distal to aortic coronary pressure) was evaluated as the ratio of mean aortic pressure (Pa) to mean distal coronary arterial pressure (Pd), After getting the Pd/Pa value, investigators performed DFR computation considering average Pd/Pa during the period between Pa less than mean Pa ending at systole and calculated using auto-mated algorithms (Boston scientific) acting during a minimum of three beats.

Comparison of post-interventional value between DFR >=0.89 and FFR >=0.80 when DFR/FFR-guided PCI is performed.
When the patients refered to PCI due to FFR \<=0.80 or DFR \<=0.89 for coronary stenotic lesion, investigators compared with post-interventional value between DFR and FFR after PCI.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Comparison of the delta value (Δ post-interventional - pre-interventional value) between DFR and FFR.
When PCI will be conduced, the comparison of the delta value between pre and post value of DFR and FFR will be measured.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
