Abstract
The usefulness of coronary pressure measurement has been recognized by the pioneers of balloon angioplasty, as testified by the presence of a fluid-filled lumen in the first generation of balloon catheters. Since these early days, the interest in measuring distal coronary pressure has fluctuated between enthusiasm for having a simple index to assess coronary hemodynamics and disillusion due to the inconsistency of the results2–6.
