OVERVIEW:

Listen to physician experts as they discuss the results of DEFINE PCI.

  • The DEFINE PCI study of 467 patients with angiographically successful PCI found that 24% left the cath lab with residual ischemia.
  • Of the patients with residual ischemia, 81.6% of these were caused by an untreated focal stenosis (that was angiographically inapparent) that could potentially be further optimized by additional PCI.
  • What does this mean for physiologic guidance as a planning tool?
