Assessment and Treatment of Diffuse and Tandem Coronary Stenoses - Dr. Sukhjinder Nijjer

Summary


Speaker: Dr Sukhjinder Nijjer, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, London, UK

Dr Sukhjinder Nijjer discusses the role of physiology in patients with diffuse and tandem coronary artery disease.  

Key learning objectives:

  • Using FFR where tandem lesions are present, it is difficult to discriminate true physiological stenosis severity 
  • iFR-Scout is easy to perform and measures physiological significance along the length of the artery without the need for adenosine
  • iFR is relatively independent of influence for tandem lesions within the normal autonomic range
  • iFR-Scout can be used to predict the likely post-PCI physiology result
