      ab: Background Assessing the physiological significance of stenoses with coexistent serial disease is prone to error. We aimed to use 3-dimensional-printing to characterize serial stenosis interplay and to derive and validate a mathematical solution to predict true stenosis significance in serial disease. Methods and Results Fifty-two 3-dimensional-printed serial disease phantoms were physiologically assessed by pressure-wire pullback (Δ FFR app) and compared with phantoms with the stenosis in isolation (Δ FFR true). Mathematical models to minimize error in predicting FFR true, the FFR in the vessel where the stenosis is present in isolation, were subsequently developed using 32 phantoms and validated in another 20 and also a clinical cohort of 30 patients with serial disease. Δ FFR app underestimated Δ FFR true in 88% of phantoms, with underestimation proportional to total FFR . Discrepancy as a proportion of Δ FFR true was 17.1% (absolute difference 0.036±0.048), which improved to 2.9% (0.006±0.023) using our model. In the clinical cohort, discrepancy was 38.5% (0.05±0.04) with 13.3% of stenoses misclassified (using FFR <0.8 threshold). Using mathematical correction, this improved to 15.4% (0.02±0.03), with the proportion of misclassified stenoses falling to 6.7%. Conclusions Individual stenoses are considerably underestimated in serial disease, proportional to total FFR . We have shown within in vitro and clinical cohorts that this error is significantly improved using a mathematical correction model, incorporating routinely available pressure-wire pullback data.
