Abstract
Intracoronary stent was used to treat a dissection resulting from balloon angioplasty. Coronary flow parameters measured with Doppler Flowire pre- and post-stenting suggested abnormal coronary flow even after stenting. The patient returned 4 months later with an instent restenosis. This case suggests the intriguing possibility of coronary flow parameters obtained immediately after new device angioplasty in predicting restenosis.
