Clinically active but angiographically moderate coronary stenoses present a difficult problem for intervention, especially when such lesions have a low translesional pressure gradient and impaired coronary reserve. Physiologic data suggest some lesions can be safely deferred, whereas others may benefit from immediate intervention.

D003326 Coronary Circulation The circulation of blood through the CORONARY VESSELS of the HEART. Circulation, Coronary
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
