Alternative methods for functional assessment of intermediate coronary lesions

Assessment of intermediate severity coronary lesions in the catheterization laboratory.

The management of intermediate coronary lesions, defined by a diameter stenosis of 40% to 70%, continues to be a therapeutic dilemma for cardiologists. The 2-dimensional representation of the arterial lesion provided by angiography is limited in distinguishing intermediate lesions that require stenting from those that simply need appropriate medical therapy. In the era of drug-eluting stents, s...

Invasive coronary physiology for assessing intermediate lesions.

A therosclerotic coronary artery narrowings, which provoke myocardial ischemia are the most common cause of angina pectoris and lead to adverse cardiac events. 1 Removing the ischemic potential of a stenosis decreases symptoms and improves outcomes. 2 Invasive coronary angiography remains the primary method for identifying coronary artery stenoses, but its inability to diagnose lesions responsi...

Assessing Intermediate Coronary Lesions: More than Meets the Eye Running title: Fearon; Intermediate Lesions

Effect of lesion length on functional significance of intermediate long coronary lesions.

OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between lesion length and other angiographic parameters on the functional significance of long coronary lesions with moderate stenosis. BACKGROUND Coronary revascularization is usually based on angiographic percent stenosis. Coronary stenosis length is not usually considered in daily clinical practice for revascularization decision-making. The relevance of...
