Abstract
Intravascular Doppler assessment of coronary flow velocity has demonst rated the physiologic significance of intermediate stenoses and the su ccess of coronary interventions. We describe a patient where Doppler e valuation confirmed the significance of an intermediate left circumfle x ostial stenosis. We also describe the Doppler flow velocity characte ristics after successful rotational atherectomy facilitated angioplast y. (C) 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
