Fractional Flow Reserve to Assess Hemodynamics in Peripheral Arteries

08/29/2015

Instead of using vasoactive drugs, which may have side effects, to induce a hyperemic state and therefore demonstrate gradients, it may be useful to create a hyperemic state by simple external cuff compression of the calf for a minute to...
