Key result
The role of fractional flow reserve, absolute and relative flow reserve, and intravascular ultrasound in decision-making for PCI in patients with previous MI and microvascular dysfunction is discussed.
This review discusses the utility of fractional flow reserve and intravascular ultrasound for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with prior myocardial infarction and microvascular dysfunction.
May inform PCI decisions in post-MI microvascular dysfunction using FFR/IVUS; leaves open need for prospective validation.

Leesar et al. (2003) conducted a review in Previous myocardial infarction and microvascular dysfunction. Fractional flow reserve, absolute and relative flow reserve, and intravascular ultrasound was evaluated. The role of fractional flow reserve, absolute and relative flow reserve, and intravascular ultrasound in decision-making for PCI in patients with previous MI and microvascular dysfunction is discussed.
