Abstract
AbstractThirty 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.
