Great educational case! The correlation between FFR and resting gradients is ok, but far from perfect (R values ~0,8).
The answer to this case is nicely demonstrated in the paper below: Resting gradients tend to underestimate focal stenosis due to low friction. doi.org/10.1161/CIRC...

See case resolution.
Messages: 1) caution w/ resting gradients in focal lesions, 2) if need to compare FFR-CT: compare to FFR, 3) hyperemic FFR pullback will demonstrate focality, 4) correlation between FFR-CT & FFR
