Key result
Physiologic assessment of coronary lesions is essential for guiding percutaneous intervention and bypass grafting, with various methods offering distinct advantages and disadvantages.
Why the study?
Thirty percent of angiographically significant coronary lesions may be functionally significant, and physiological assessment is essential to guide percutaneous or surgical revascularization decisions.
Physiological assessment is essential for evaluating intermediate coronary lesions prior to percutaneous intervention or bypass grafting.
Supports physiologic assessment of intermediate lesions before revascularization; leaves open optimal modality selection pending comparative trials.
Thirty percent of angiographically significant coronary lesions may be functionally significant. Physiological assessment is essential to treat intermediate coronary lesions before taking the decision for percutaneous intervention. Even when coronary artery bypass is planned as treatment modality in triple-vessel coronary artery disease, the SYNTEX II trial has shown that functionally significant lesion treatment by bypass grafts improves the outcome of these patients. In this article, possible ways of estimating the physiologic assessment of coronary lesion, and the advantages and disadvantages of methods of estimating the physiologic assessment of coronary lesions is discussed.
