In vitro Quantification of Guidewire Flow-Obstruction Effect in MODEL CORONARY STENOSES FOR INTERVENTIONAL DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Abstract

The objective is to quantify the guidewire ( and preangioplasty). The diagnostic parameters measured before guidewire insertion (CFR and FFR) and during guidewire insertion (gCFR and gFFR) were validated numerically and correlated with the new diagnostic parameter "lesion flow coefficient (LFC)." There was significant flow reduction with increased trans-stenotic pressure drop due to guidewire insertion. The FFR-gFFR and CFR-gCFR correlations wer
