【 摘 要 】

The appropriate assessment of intermediate coronary artery stenosis continues to be a challenge for cardiologists. Several studies have shown that anatomic parameters obtained by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed a correlation with fractional flow reserve (FFR) values in identifying hemodynamically severe coronary stenoses. However, the efficacy of IVUS/OCT versus FFR integration in intermediate coronary lesions is still debated. This review will allow for an independent analysis of research data and outlines the diagnostic efficiency of IVUS and OCT derived-anatomical parameters in identifying the hemodynamic significance of an angiographically intermediate stenosis as determined by FFR.
