Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure by which information is obtained from the heart by passing fine plastic tubes (occasionally other instruments) either near to or within the heart, to introduce contrast to cardiac structures to understand their anatomy and function better, to measure pressures, and/or to measure oxygen saturations in different ...

Fractional flow reserve in assessment of intermediate non-culprit lesions in acute myocardial infarction [PDF]
Context: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of intermediate non-culprit arteries can reduce death or heart attack risk in patients with acute myocardial infarction and multivessel coronary artery disease.

Guidelines for Percutaneous Coronary Interventions [PDF]
In patients with stable CAD, PCI can be considered a valuable initial mode of revascularization in all patients with objective large ischaemia in the presence of almost every lesion subset, with only one exception: chronic total occlusions that cannot be crossed. In early studies, there was a small survival advantage with CABG surgery compared with PCI

Percutaneous coronary intervention [PDF]
This chapter covers percutaneous coronary intervention. It starts with the history of the procedure, indications, and techniques for imaging the lesion, and describes different systems of lesion classification. The equipment required for percutaneous coronary intervention, including guiding catheters, angioplasty guide wires, angioplasty balloons, and ...

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