Brief Summary: Aim of this study is to evaluate whether the length of coronary segments assessed by an experienced operator using the optimal view of standard 2-dimensional coronary angiography is overunderestimated with respect to the one evaluated automatically with the help of a 3-dimensional coronary reconstruction model Moreover both techniques are compared with an in-vivo surrogate of the real length of the coronary segment under evaluation ie an intra-coronary marker guide-wire which is a wire with markers placed at fixed and known distance along its length in its distal intra-coronary part Two hypotheses are tested 1 the length of a coronary segment evaluated with a standard 2-dimensional optimal view overunderestimates the length assessed by a 3-dimensional coronary model that automatically detects the least foreshortened length of the segment under evaluation and 2 the 3-dimensional model approximates more closely than standard 2-dimensional angiography the real length of the segment detected by the marker guide-wire
Detailed Description: The potential to improve the accuracy of the assessment of the coronary tree by means of 3-D modeling reconstruction may lead to an evaluation of the coronary artery anatomy that approximates more correctly the real anatomy thus subsequently leading to a more tailored diagnosis and therapy for the patients with ischemic heart disease

Aim of the current study is to assess whether a 3-D model of the coronary tree offers a less foreshortened and less operator-dependent evaluation of the length of the coronary arteries with respect to standard coronary angiography Furthermore for the first time in-vivo a comparison with the real length of the vessel will be performed using as gold standard an intra-coronary guide-wire with radiopaque markers at fixed and known distance one from the other along its distal part
