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
