Fractional flow reserve versus angiography for guidance of PCI in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (FAME): 5-year follow-up of a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

Lancet, The, 2015
In the Fractional Flow Reserve Versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation (FAME) study, fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improved outcome compared with angiography-guided PCI for up to 2 years of follow-up.

Coronary flow reserve and microcirculatory resistance in patients with coronary tortuosity and without atherosclerosis

Journal of International Medical Research, 2020
Objective Coronary tortuosity may affect epicardial coronary arterial blood flow. This study aimed to investigate the effect of coronary tortuosity on coronary flow reserve and the coronary microcirculation in patients without apparent coronary ...

What is the Role of Coronary Physiology in the Management of Patients with Chronic Coronary Syndromes?

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
The use of coronary physiology in patients with chronic coronary syndromes is highly variable, and the evidence base complex. Tests of coronary physiology have traditionally been invasive (e.g., fractional flow reserve), but novel non-invasive methods ...

Effects of Intracoronary Alteplase on Microvascular Function in Acute Myocardial Infarction

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Impaired microcirculatory reperfusion worsens prognosis following acute ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction. In the T‐TIME (A Trial of Low‐Dose Adjunctive Alteplase During Primary PCI) trial, microvascular obstruction on cardiovascular ...

Functional assessment of a left coronary-pulmonary artery fistula by coronary flow reserve [PDF]

, 2014
We report a 71-year-old man who presented with atypical chest pain. Coronary angiography did not reveal left main or proximal left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis, but a fistulous communication with a stronger tube-like fistula was present ...

Meta-analysis of death and myocardial infarction in the DEFINE-FLAIR and iFR-SWEDEHEART trials: a hypothesis generating note of caution [PDF]

, 2017
In patients with coronary heart disease, revascularization can improve symptoms and in certain high-risk subgroups may improve prognosis. Coronary angiography provides anatomical information and the physiological significance of a stenosis can be ...
