RESUMO
In an era of increased scrutiny of the appropriateness and safety of revascularization, interventional cardiologists must evolve by adding key tools to their armamentarium. This review highlights the utility of optical coherence tomography and fractional flow reserve in the catheterization lab and provides a practical guide for using these technologies during coronary intervention in various lesion subsets. We propose that fractional flow reserve informs the decision to intervene and optical coherence tomography guides the optimization of the outcome.
