However, in many patients this problem cannot be solved solely by morphologic examination of the coronary lumen using coronary angiography or intravascular ultrasound imaging. In most commonly encountered stenoses, those in the intermediate ranges, coronary lumenology does not provide sufficient information to support clinical decisions.1 It is widely accepted that the decision for coronary interventions should . . .
