Use of a coronary pressure wire, if the service is: (a) performed during selective coronary angiography, percutaneous angioplasty or transluminal insertion of one or more stents; and (b) to measure fractional flow reserve, non-hyperaemic pressure ratios or coronary flow reserve in intermediate coronary artery or graft lesions (stenosis of 50 to 70%); and (c) to determine whether revascularisation is appropriate, if previous functional imaging: (i) has not been performed; or (ii) has been performed but the results are inconclusive or do not apply to the vessel being interrogated; and (d) performed on one or more coronary vascular territories (H) (Anaes.)
