Introduction Accuracy of intracoronary imaging to discriminate functionally significant
coronary stenosis according to vessel diameter remains to be defined. Methods PubMed …

Objective: We aimed to assess the ideal cut-off value of minimal lumen area (MLA) by
intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and its diagnostic performance to predict ischemia, using a …

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of optical coherence
tomography (OCT) in identifying functional significance via fractional flow reserve (FFR) …

Background—We assessed optimal intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) criteria for predicting
functional significance of intermediate coronary lesions. Methods and Results—Overall, 201 …

The functional significance of coronary artery stenoses of intermediate severity is important
in determining strategy in patient care. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is often used to …

Introduction Although intravascular ultrasound minimal luminal area (IVUS‐MLA) is one of
many anatomic determinants of lesion severity, it has been proposed as an alternative to …

Objective Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is regarded as the gold standard for the
physiological assessment of intermediate coronary artery stenoses. However, FFR does not …

Objectives: The study sought to assess the diagnostic efficiency of optical coherence
tomography (OCT) in identifying hemodynamically severe coronary stenoses as determined …

Aims: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) of< 0.8 or 0.75 is currently used to guide
revascularisation in lesions with intermediate coronary stenosis. We assessed whether there …

Objectives: We performed this study to determine the optimal intravascular ultrasound
(IVUS) criteria and to evaluate their accuracy for defining the functional significance of …
