A comparative study of geometry-based methods and intra-arterial pressure measurements to assess the hemodynamic significance of equivocal iliac artery stenoses.

Objectives: To date, the ultimate decision to treat iliac artery stenoses in patients suffering from symptomatic peripheral arterial disease is based on the patient's symptoms and on visual inspection of angiographical images. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of geometry-based methods (i.e.
