The research interests of Amir Lerman, M.D., are centered on coronary physiology and the role of the endothelium in regulating coronary vascular tone. DrLerman and colleagues use state-of-the-art technology, including intracoronary Doppler, intracoronary pressure assessment and intravascular ultrasound. Research is carried out in the Center for Coronary Physiology and Imaging, part of Mayo Clinic… View more

The prevalence of concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) varies widely among different reports. This depends primarily on the definition used to assess CAD as well as study design and patient selection, therefore making a uniform estimate difficult. Major trials investigating transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) highlighted a substantial… View more

Valvular Disease Aortic valve Severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) bears a dismal prognosis. The mean survival is 2.0 to 4.7 years after the onset of angina, 0.8 to 3.8 years after the onset of syncope and 0.5 to 2.8 years after the onset of congestive heart failure.1 Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is the mainstay of treatment for these patients.2 In the last decade transcatheter… View more

Coronary artery bifurcation lesions are treated in 15–20% of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures and are still plagued by worse outcomes.1 This is in spite of recent significant advancements in stent technology in general and in bifurcation stenting techniques in particular. Conventional angiography provides only limited information about bifurcation anatomy, plaque distribution… View more

During coronary revascularisation involving a main vessel and a side branch, it is unclear whether ballooning of the side branch is a prerequisite for long term clinical success. Coronary physiology techniques such as Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) provide a unique way to scientifically quantify whether a side-branch may need revascularisation following treatment of the main vessel. Frequently it… View more
