Decrease of fractional flow reserve shortly after percutaneous coronary intervention.
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to quantitatively assess the physiological acute recoil after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and to determine the relation between it and target lesion revascularization (TLR) in the chronic phase. METHODS AND RESULTS This study evaluated 76 patients who underwent elective PCI between May 1997 and December 2001: plain old balloon angiopla...
متن کاملFractional flow reserve versus angiography for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention.
BACKGROUND In patients with multivessel coronary artery disease who are undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary angiography is the standard method for guiding the placement of the stent. It is unclear whether routine measurement of fractional flow reserve (FFR; the ratio of maximal blood flow in a stenotic artery to normal maximal flow), in addition to angiography, improve...
متن کاملFractional flow reserve and complex coronary intervention.
This paper aims to provide a short overview of the theoretical background for coronary pressure-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) index and to focus on its clinical applicability in complex coronary intervention.
متن کاملMeasurement of fractional flow reserve to guide decisions for percutaneous coronary intervention
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of premature death in Germany. Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) are frequently performed in patients with angiographically intermediate stenoses. However, the necessity of PCI has not been proven for all patients. Pressure-based fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an invasive test that can be used to assess the function...
متن کاملUnprotected Left Main Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Integrated Use of Fractional Flow Reserve and Intravascular Ultrasound
F or several decades, bypass surgery has been regarded as the treatment of choice for patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. However, because of easy anatomic accessibility and a relatively large vessel caliber, left main percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for LMCA disease has become an attractive option for cardiologists. In addition, technical advances in PC...
