Localization of Microvascular Dysfunction

Physiological parameters of the culprit artery after PCI were determined with the restoration of Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 3 flow. Aortic pressure (Pa), distal intracoronary pressure (Pd), fractional flow reserve (FFR), coronary flow reserve (CFR) and index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) were measured using a 0.014 coronary temperature and pressure-sensing guidewire (PressureWireCertus, ST. Jude Medical, MN, USA).
