## Abstract The angiographic assessment of an ambiguous left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis is often difficult and not reliable. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) have improved the diagnostic utility of an ambiguous LMCA stenosis. The combined role of FFR and I

## Coronary pseudostenosis (PS) are increasingly visualized during coronary interventions. In many patients PS are readily recognized by a characteristic angiographic pattern, but in other cases the diagnosis remains difficult. The value of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in the study of PS remain
We describe a case of spontaneous coronary artery dissection that gave rise to post infarction unstable angina. An ambiguous angiographic appearance was shown by intracoronary ultrasound to arise from an extensive coronary dissection. The dissection membrane separating true and false lumina and feat
## Abstract ## Purpose: To evaluate the ability of blackβblood coronary arterial wall MRI to identify the coronary artery plaque, using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) as the golden standard. ## Materials and Methods: Nineteen consecutive patients underwent IVUS and coronary artery wall MRI. Cro
