Usefulness of Minimal Luminal Coronary Area Determined by Intravascular Ultrasound to Predict Functional Significance in Stable and Unstable Angina Pectoris

Little is known about the intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) minimal lumen area (MLA) criteria and their accuracy in lesion subsets assorted according to vessel type, lesion location, vessel size, and clinical settings. We therefore assessed the accuracy of subgroup-specific cut-off values in predictin...

Description
Summary:Little is known about the intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) minimal lumen area (MLA) criteria and their accuracy in lesion subsets assorted according to vessel type, lesion location, vessel size, and clinical settings. We therefore assessed the accuracy of subgroup-specific cut-off values in predicting fractional flow reserve (FFR)
