A system for evaluating a blood vessel of a patient, comprising:
- a first instrument sized and shaped for introduction into the blood vessel of the patient;
- and
- a processing system configured for communication with the first instrument and a second instrument, wherein the processing system configured to:
- obtain a plurality of pressure measurements from the first and second instruments while the first instrument is moved longitudinally through a length of the blood vessel from a first position to a second position and the second instrument remains stationary;
- determine, using the plurality of pressure measurements, a plurality of pressure ratios along the length of the blood vessel;
- output, on a display in communication with the processing system, a map representative of the length of the blood vessel such a portion of the map is representative at least one pressure ratio of the plurality of pressure ratios, wherein the portion of the map comprises:
- a first visual characteristic when the at least one pressure ratio is above a threshold pressure ratio;
- or
- a second visual characteristic when the at least one pressure ratio is below the threshold pressure ratio.
