Background In patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), it remains
unclear whether intravascular imaging guidance or functional guidance is the best strategy …

In the catheterization laboratory, the measurement of physiological indexes can help identify
functionally significant lesions and has become one of the standard methods to guide …

Background Intracoronary imaging modalities, including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and

In patients with ST segment elevation and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI),
multivessel (MV) coronary artery disease is found in approximately 50%, leading to worse …

This Perspective article is a form of 'pastiche', inspired by the 1993 review by Lincoff and
