The Impact of Plaque Rupture on Mismatch Between Intravascular Ultrasound Minimal Lumen Area and Fractional Flow Reserve Measured in an Angiographically Borderline Left Main With Complex Left Anterior Descending Involvement.

Plaque rupture is known to affect the mismatch between anatomy and physiology. In this case, we relied on fractional flow reserve along with the tomographic perspective of intravascular ultrasound.

Importance of Right Marginal Branch Protection During Primary Angioplasty in Inferior STEMI With Right Ventricular Involvement.

We document the high effectiveness of an extra guidewire insertion aimed at mechanical lumen protection of the right marginal branch from displaced thrombus, which frequently occurs during proximal right coronary artery stenting.
