چکیده
In the measurement of coronary blood flow to determine the success of percutaneous coronary intervention, invasive techniques, coupled with plaque characterisation and other intracoronary imaging modalities, may prove invaluable.

Ischemia-based Coronary Revascularization: Beyond Anatomy and Fractional Flow Reserve
Treatment strategies for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) should be based on objective evidence of inducible ischemia in the subtended myocardium to improve clinical outcomes, symptoms, and cost-effectiveness. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the most verified index to-date for invasively evaluating lesion-specific myocardial ischemia. Favorable results from large clinical trials tha...
متن کاملFractional flow reserve to guide coronary revascularization.
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) has become an increasingly important index for decision making with respect to revascularization of coronary artery stenosis. It is the gold standard to indicate whether a particular stenosis is responsible for inducible ischemia and it is generally accepted that a stenosis with an ischemic value of FFR is responsible for angina pectoris and a worse outcome, and sh...
متن کاملAnatomic and physiologic considerations in measurements of myocardial blood flow.
THE CLINICAL importance of ischemic heart disease has provided a powerful stimulus for the development of new and better methods for the study of the coronary circulation. In the animal laboratory, the electromagnetic flowmeter has replaced the rotameter as the standard method of measuring coronary blood flow. Flowmeter probes can be implanted around a dog's coronary artery and utilized to stud...
متن کاملAdenosine-Dependent Vasodilation and the Quest for "Maximal" Hyperemia: Does Flow Provide an Answer?
With great interest, we read the work of Adjedj and colleagues (1), demonstrating the dose-response curve of intracoronary adenosine for hyperemia, expressed in terms of coronary flow velocity. The authors should be congratulated for this elegant study, which by focusing on the flow response to adenosine has important incremental value over previous studies on the subject. Nonetheless, some con...
متن کاملFractional flow reserve: a new paradigm for diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an index of the physiological significance of a coronary stenosis and is defined as the ratio of maximal blood flow in a stenotic artery to normal maximal flow. It can be easily measured during coronary angiography by calculating the ratio of distal coronary pressure to the aortic pressure. FFR in a normal coronary artery equals 1.0. An FFR value of ≤0.80 indica...
