Quote of the Month
“We've known
for almost 25 years that visual assessment of angiograms
is reproducible and inaccurate. Every angiographer knows
you can make a lesion anywhere from 20 to 70%, just by the
frame that you pick when you look at an angiogram. The lesson
that the interventional community needs to learn is that
you have to be really careful about documenting why you are
treating moderate severity lesions. And when in doubt, either
use IVUS or FFR to make sure that you can prove to people
that the lesion is severe enough to be treated.”
