Jun 13, 2016 · Although the IVUS minimum lumen area (MLA) was the parameter that best correlated with ischemia, reported thresholds of IVUS MLA cut-offs ranged from 2.1 to 4.4 mm …

IVUS is valuable in defining moderate CL severity (30 to 70%) in left main (LM) or non-left main (NLM) coronaries using minimum luminal area (MLA) of ≤5.9 and ≤4 mm 2, respectively. …

In patients with isolated ostial and shaft intermediate LMCA stenosis, an IVUS-derived MLA of ≤4.5 mm 2 is a useful index of an FFR of ≤0.80.
