The invasive measurement of fractional flow reserve (FFR) can determine the haemodynamic relevance of coronary artery stenoses. Determination of FFR is recommended in coronary artery stenoses with a luminal diameter narrowing between 50 % and 90 % if no non-invasive proof of ischaemia is available.1 To measure the FFR of a given coronary lesion, a wire or a microcatheter equipped with a…

From the early days of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) it became apparent that the presence of severe coronary calcification was a predictor of worse clinical outcomes. In the era of plain old balloon angioplasty, severe coronary calcification was associated with an increased risk of coronary dissection and procedural failure, while in the bare-metal stent era, it was associated with a…

Many experts would agree that the concept of looking at vessel architecture from the inside using intracoronary probes, instead of simply relying on the angiographic vessel cast, is an elegant way to practise interventional cardiology in order to decide whether to treat a coronary artery and to guide coronary intervention. The historical development of stents neatly exemplifies this notion: the…
