Why the study?
Does coronary pressure measurement by a pressure wire at maximum hyperemia provide a practical method for assessing the hemodynamic significance of serial stenoses within one coronary artery?
Does coronary pressure measurement by a pressure wire at maximum hyperemia provide a practical method for assessing the hemodynamic significance of serial stenoses within one coronary artery?
Coronary pressure measurement via pressure wire during maximum hyperemia is a practical method to evaluate the hemodynamic significance of serial coronary stenoses.
Supports pressure-wire assessment of serial stenoses; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Coronary pressure measurements made by a pressure wire at maximum hyperemia provide a simple, practical method for assessing the individual hemodynamic significance of multiple stenoses within the same artery.
