Erroneous pressure measurement due to artificially deformed vessel during angioplasty. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is a commonly performed procedure. The clinical success of such a procedure is determined by the combination of the post-procedure angiographic appearance and the pressure gradient across the lesion. This case demonstrates the importance of recognizing the anatomical variation if proper pressure measurements are to be obtained.
