Randomized comparison of primary stenting and provisional balloon angioplasty guided by flow velocity measurement. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Coronary stenting improves outcomes compared with balloon angioplasty, but it is costly and may have other disadvantages. Limiting stent use to patients with a suboptimal result after angioplasty (provisional angioplasty) may be as effective ...

Coronary flow velocity reserve after percutaneous interventions is predictive of periprocedural outcome [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Because heterogeneous results have been reported, we assessed coronary flow velocity changes in individuals who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and examined their impact on clinical outcome. METHODS AND RESULTS:
