Biography
Percutaneous coronary intervention, guided by angiography, is a well established method of treatment of patients with severe coronary artery disease. However, in patients with intermediate severity lesions, the functional significance of the lesions must be ascertained to avoid unnecessary treatment of non-significant lesions while ensuring treatment of significant lesions. The functional significance of these lesions cannot be assessed by angiography, but can be readily determined by measuring the fractional flow reserve in the artery of interest. Compelling current evidence argues for the use of fractional flow reserve-guided revascularization in these patients.

Unruptured Thin-Cap Fibroatheroma with Overlying Platelet-Rich Thrombus in Left Main Coronary Artery – A Previously Unreported Culprit Lesion in Acute Coronary Syndrome
In patients undergoing coronary angiography, thin-cap fibroatheroma are reported to be extremely rare in the left main coronary artery and, that too only as non-culprit lesions in patients with acute coronary syndrome. We report on a patient presenting with acute coronary syndrome and with angiographically d... view more»
