Background Physiological patterns of coronary artery disease (CAD) have emerged as
potential determinants of functional results of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and …

Angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) has emerged as a non-invasive
technique to assess the functional significance of coronary artery stenoses. The clinical …

Background The role of quantitative flow ratio (QFR) in the treatment of nonculprit vessels of
patients with myocardial infarction (MI) is a topic of ongoing discussion. Objectives This …

Despite significant advancements in drug-eluting stent technology, in-stent restenosis (ISR)
still occurs in approximately 10% of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary …

Background Coronary physiology measured by fractional flow reserve (FFR) is superior to
angiography for assessing the efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Yet, the …

Traditionally, coronary angiography was restricted to visual estimation of contrast-filled
lumen in coronary obstructive diseases. Over the previous decades, considerable …

Wire-based coronary physiology is the current gold standard for the assessment of both
epicardial and microvascular coronary function. 1 Wire-based fractional flow reserve (FFR) …

Multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD), defined as≥ 50% stenosis in 2 or more
epicardial arteries, is associated with a high burden of morbidity and mortality in acute …
