The impact of coronary revascularization on vessel-specific coronary flow capacity and long-term outcomes: a serial [15O]H2O positron emission tomography perfusion imaging study

Abstract

Successful revascularization results in an increase in CFC. Furthermore, baseline CFC was an independent predictor of change in hMBF, CFR, and subsequently CFC. In addition, an increase in CFC was associated with a favourable outcome in terms of death and non-fatal MI.
