Brief summary
The investigators studied the relations between coronary angiography (CAG), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) in coronary ostial lesions.
Detailed description
Angiographic evaluation for ostial lesions is reported to be inaccurate in the assessment of the functional and clinical significance of a lesion. The investigators studied the relations between coronary angiography (CAG), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) in coronary ostial lesions.
Interventions
Fractional flow reserve measured by pressure wire
intravascular ultrasound :IVUS was performed in a standard fashion using an automated motorized pullback system (0.5mm/s) with commercially available imaging catheter
