Background: Recently several publications described the diagnostic value of coronary CT angiography (coronary CTA) derived fractional flow reserve (CTA-FFR). For a recently introduced on-site CTA-FFR application, detailed methodology and factors potentially affecting performance have not yet been described.Objective: To provide a methodological background for an on-site CTA-FFR application and evaluate the effect of patient and acquisition characteristics.Methods: The on-site CTA-FFR application utilized a reduced-order hybrid model applying pressure drop models within stenotic regions. In 116 patients and 203 vessels the diagnostic performance of CTA-FFR was investigated using invasive FFR measurements as a reference. The effect of several potentially relevant factors on CTA-FFR was investigated.Results: 90 vessels (44%) had a hemodynamically relevant stenosis according to invasive FFR (threshold
