Invasive coronary physiology for assessing intermediate lesions.

A therosclerotic coronary artery narrowings, which provoke myocardial ischemia are the most common cause of angina pectoris and lead to adverse cardiac events. 1 Removing the ischemic potential of a stenosis decreases symptoms and improves outcomes. 2 Invasive coronary angiography remains the primary method for identifying coronary artery stenoses, but its inability to diagnose lesions responsi...

Assessment of intermediate severity coronary lesions in the catheterization laboratory.

The management of intermediate coronary lesions, defined by a diameter stenosis of 40% to 70%, continues to be a therapeutic dilemma for cardiologists. The 2-dimensional representation of the arterial lesion provided by angiography is limited in distinguishing intermediate lesions that require stenting from those that simply need appropriate medical therapy. In the era of drug-eluting stents, s...
