Lipid Burden and Efficacy of Preventive PCI of Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Coronary Plaques: Post Hoc Analysis From the PREVENT Trial

BACKGROUND: Preventive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of non–flow-limiting lesions (fractional flow reserve >0.80) that are high-risk plaques has emerged as a potential strategy to reduce cardiac events. However, identifying which lesions derive the greatest benefit fro...

Contrasting Prognostic Value of Discordance Between Resting Distal-to-Aortic Coronary Pressure Ratio and Fractional Flow Reserve in Coronary Artery Disease

BACKGROUND: Discordance between nonhyperemic pressure ratios and fractional flow reserve (FFR), observed in up to 20% of cases, complicates clinical decision-making for coronary revascularization and warrants further investigation of its clinical implications. This study aimed to...
