Safety of Revascularization Deferral of Left Main Stenosis Based on Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio Evaluation

05 Aug 2020

The main message appears to be that iFR-based deferral of LM revascularization is not linked to an excessive risk of MACE during 30-month median follow-up. Given the historical predominance of angiography-based decision making, this study provides further evidence in support of thinking and acting beyond angiography...
