Abstract EN
Interventional treatment in various vascular beds has advanced tremendously.
However, there are several problems to be considered.
We searched the literature and tried to analyze major parts of it.
One is safety and applicability of coronary proven methods in other vascular beds.
An unresolved problem is the functional assessment of intermediate lesions, as far as various target organs have quite different circulation from the coronary one and the functional tests should be modified in order to be applicable and meaningful.
In the majority of the acute vascular syndromes, the culprit lesion is of intermediate size on visual assessment.
On the other hand, a procedurally successfully managed high-degree stenosis is not always followed by clinical and prognostic benefit.
In vascular beds, where collateral network naturally exists, the readings from the functional assessment are complicated and thus the decision for interventional treatment is even more difficult.
Here come into help the functional assessment and imaging with IVUS, OCT, high-resolution MRI, and contrast enhanced CT or SPECT.
The focus of the current review is on the functional assessment of intermediate stenosis in other vascular beds, unlike the coronary arteries.
