Following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), optical coherence tomography provides prognosis information. The pullback pressure gradient is a novel index that discriminates focal from diffuse coronary artery disease based on fractional flow reserve pullbacks. We sought to investigate the association between coronary artery disease patterns, defined by coronary physiology, and optical coherence tomography after stent implantation in stable patients undergoing PCI.
Each week, we present a journal club in which we choose a study that we believe will be of interest to the interventional cardiology community and discuss it at a virtual journal club with several of our faculty members.
