14.1 Hemodynamic support: when and what device Maintaining adequate tissue perfusion is critical for survival. PCI may result in decreased cardiac output and tissue hypoperfusion or may be performed in the setting of decreased or absent perfusion (such as in…

13.1 When to do coronary intravascular imaging? Coronary intravascular imaging can be performed before, during, and after PCI to determine the need for coronary revascularization, and help plan and optimize the result of PCI, as described below. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)…

12.1 When should coronary physiology be used? 12.1.1 Before PCI 1. Determine significance of intermediate coronary lesions. Several studies have shown that PCI of lesions with adenosine fractional flow reserve (FFR)>0.80 (FFR>0.75 was used in earlier studies ) or lesions…
