Abstract :
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) has been recognized as an effective tool to determine functional significance in intermediate coronary
lesions and FFR-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves clinical outcomes. However, hemodynamic interaction
between serial stenoses within one coronary artery complicates the assessment of functional severity of each individual lesion. We
present a case in which FFR measurement by intracoronary bolus injection of adenosine helps to make appropriate revascularization
decision in serial stenoses when the procedures are performed systemically and properly
