Pathophysiological Significance of Velocity-Based Microvascular Resistance at Maximal Hyperemia in Peripheral Artery Disease.

CONCLUSION: EVT for SFA stenosis improved FFR and VFR comprehensively, with no apparent change in h-MR. However, high h-MR before EVT may play a predictive role for limb perfusion improvement associated with h-MR reduction after EVT.
