Definitions of Complete Revascularization

Anatomical or traditional All diseased arterial systems with vessel size 1.5 (2.0‐2.25 mm for PCI) with at least 1 significant stenosis >50% receive a stent
Functional All ischemic myocardial territories are grafted (or stented); areas of old infarction with no viable myocardium are not required to be reperfused
Numerical Number of distal anastomoses number of diseased coronary segments/systems
Score‐based Scoring of stenosis in different vessels. Different weight given to different vessels according to number of myocardial segments supplied. A residual score of 0 is usually considered equivalent to CR
Physiology‐based All coronary lesions with FFR less than or equal to 0.75 to 0.80 receive a stent

CR indicates complete revascularization; FFR, fractional flow reserve; PCI percutaneous coronary intervention.
