Physiology-Based Revascularization: A New Approach to Plan and Optimize Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

ABSTRACT: Coronary physiological assessment using fractional flow reserve or nonhyperemic pressure ratios has become a standard of care for patients with coronary atherosclerotic disease. However, most evidence has focused on the pre-interventional use of physiological assessment to aid revascularization decision-making, whereas post-interventional physiological assessment has not been well established. Although evidence for supporting the role of post-interventional physiological assessment to optimize immediate revascularization results and long-term prognosis has been reported, a more thorough understanding of these data is crucial in incorporating post-interventional physiological assessment into daily practice. Recent scientific efforts have also focused on the potential role of pre-interventio
