“…On the other hand, the correlation between FFR and IVUS correlation for LMCA lesions is greater than for non-LMCA lesions, as noted. 12 An important advantage of IVUS compared with FFR for LMCA evaluation is the ability to obtain key morphologic information, such as characterization of the severity and extent of disease (eg, ostial LAD and/or ostial left circumflex involvement, calcification that may require atherectomy). Importantly, plaque burden was the only predictor of events at the 5-year follow-up for LMCA lesions left untreated.…”
