Clinical Outcomes According to Fractional Flow Reserve or Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio in Deferred Lesions
Conclusions Both FFR and iFR showed significant association with future risk of MACE in deferred lesions. The discordant results between FFR and iFR were not associated with the increased risk of MACE. The risk of MACE was significantly increased only in lesions with abnormal results of both FFR and iFR.

Intracoronary Optical Coherence Tomography 2018: Current Status and Future Directions
Abstract The advent of intravascular imaging has been a significant advancement in visualization of coronary arteries, particularly with optical coherence tomography (OCT) that allows for high-resolution imaging of intraluminal and transmural coronary structures. Accumulating data support a clinical role for OCT in a multitude of clinical scenarios, including assessing the natural history of atherosclerosis and modulating effects of therapies, mechanisms of acute coronary syndromes, mechanistic insights into the effects of novel interventional devices, and optimization of percutaneous coronary intervention. In th...
