Different Microcirculation Response Between Culprit and Non‐Culprit Vessels in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background This study investigated whether the microvascular dysfunction differed between culprit and non‐culprit vessels in patients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention.

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 ...

Collateral donor artery physiology and the influence of a chronic total occlusion on fractional flow reserve [PDF]

, 2015
Background— The presence of a concomitant chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) and a large collateral contribution might alter the fractional flow reserve (FFR) of an interrogated vessel, rendering the FFR unreliable at predicting ischemia should the ...

The effect of coronary angioplasty on coronary flow reserve. [PDF]

Circulation, 1988
To determine the effects of coronary angioplasty on coronary flow reserve (CFR), we studied 32 patients before and immediately after single-vessel coronary angioplasty and 31 patients evaluated late after angioplasty (7.5 +/- 1.2 months, mean +/- SEM).

Optimal Prognostication of Patients with Coronary Stenoses in the Pre- and Post-PCI setting: Comments on TARGET FFR and DEFINE-FLOW Trials Presented at TCT Connect 2020

European Cardiology Review, 2021
The body of evidence for the use of coronary physiology assessments to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been growing continuously in recent decades.

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 ...

Fractional flow reserve-guided PCI versus medical therapy in stable coronary disease.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2012
BACKGROUND The preferred initial treatment for patients with stable coronary artery disease is the best available medical therapy. We hypothesized that in patients with functionally significant stenoses, as determined by measurement of fractional flow ...

CORONARY PERFUSION:IMPACT OF FLOW DYNAMICS AND GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF TWO DIFFERENT AORTIC PROSTHESES OF SIMILAR SIZE [PDF]

, 2012
BackgroundAortic valve replacement leads to improvement of coronary flow but not to complete normalization. Coronary hypoperfusion contributes to higher left ventricular mass persistence, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure and sudden death.

Accuracy of Computational Pressure-Fluid Dynamics applied to Coronary Angiography to Derive Fractional Flow Reserve - FLASH FFR.

Cardiovascular Research, 2020
AIMS Conventional Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is measured invasively using a coronary guidewire equipped with a pressure sensor. A non-invasive derived FFR would eliminate risk of coronary injury, minimize technical limitations and potentially increase
