  • Title: Intravascular imaging and physiologic lesion assessment to define critical coronary stenoses.
    Author: Gruberg L, Mintz GS, Satler LF, Kent KM, Pichard AD, Leon MB.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1999 Oct; 68(4):1547-51. PubMed ID: 10543566.
    Abstract:
    Despite the fact that the coronary angiogram is the gold-standard in assessing a coronary artery stenosis for the purposes of clinical decision making, it has many limitations. Alternative methods are available. This article discusses three of these: intravascular ultrasound, coronary flow reserve, and fractional flow reserve.
