Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The resistance induced by the epicardial coronary segment with and without the presence of an over-the-wire micro-catheter during coronary vasodilation. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The resistance induced by the epicardial coronary segment with and without the presence of an over-the-wire micro-catheter during resting conditions. The available coronary vasodilatory reserve with and without the presence of an over-the-wire micro-catheter using the coronary flow reserve, and the resistive reserve ratio. Stenosis severity with and without the presence of an over-the-wire micro-catheter by means of the distal coronary to aortic pressure ratio during resting conditions. Stenosis severity with and without the presence of an over-the-wire micro-catheter by means of the distal coronary to aortic pressure ratio during coronary vasodilation. The delta stenosis resistance between wire-only and micro-catheter based assessment during vasodilation as a function of stenosis severity identified by angiographic diameter stenosis, resting Pd/Pa and basal stenosis resistance index. | — |
