title: The reconciliation of pressure and light: a clinical case of complementary use of fractional flow reserve and optical coherence tomography.
abstract: An interesting case of acute coronary syndrome occurring shortly after a cardiac catheterization is reported. Different tests and imaging modalities for coronary artery disease have been performed in this patient. The potential for integration of the information available is underscored in order to overcome their inherent limitations.
