Functional Measurement of Coronary Stenosis
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2012 Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is considered nowadays as the gold standard for invasive assessment of physiologic stenosis significance and an indispensable tool for decision making in coronary revascularization. Use of FFR in the catheterization laboratory accurately identifies which lesions should be stented and improves the outcome in most elective ...

Coronary sequelae of mitral stenosis [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2009 An 83-year-old female was admitted because of cardiac decompensation with progressive shortness of breath, peripheral oedema, and atypical chest pain. Her medical history included hypertension, diabetes type II treated with oral antidiabetics, and permanent atrial fibrillation with a brady-tachy syndrome. A pacemaker was implanted previously.

Use of the Instantaneous Wave-free Ratio or Fractional Flow Reserve in PCI [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Coronary revascularization guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR) is associated with better patient outcomes after the procedure than revascularization guided by angiography alone.

Impact of incomplete ventricular coverage on diagnostic performance of myocardial perfusion imaging. [PDF]
, 2017 In the context of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), there is ongoing debate on the merits of using technically complex acquisition methods to achieve whole-heart spatial coverage, rather than conventional 3-slice ...

An investigation of correlation between left coronary bifurcation angle and hemodynamic changes in coronary stenosis by coronary computed tomography angiography-derived computational fluid dynamics [PDF]
, 2017 Background: To investigate the correlation between left coronary bifurcation angle and coronary stenosis as assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)-generated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis when compared to the CCTA ...

Coronary angioplasty in iatrogenic coronary artery stenosis
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1983 Iatrogenic coronary artery stenosis as a serious complication of aortic valve procedures is a difficult condition to solve. We present a case in which both ostia were involved. As the patient refused reoperation, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was used.

Fractional flow reserve versus angiography in guiding management to optimize outcomes in non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (FAMOUS-NSTEMI): rationale and design of a randomized controlled clinical trial [PDF]
, 2013 <p>Background: In patients with acute non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), coronary arteriography is usually recommended; but visual interpretation of the angiogram is subjective.
