EuroPCR 25 - Substudy findings from ILUMIEN-IV show that virtual flow reserve was slightly higher after angiography guidance rather than an optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based physiology assessment after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in high-risk angiographic lesions.We are joined by Dr Thomas Johnson (Bristol Heart Institute, Bristol, UK) to discuss findings from a retrospective… View more

A novel optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based physiological assessment, virtual flow reserve (VFR), has been shown to predict 2-year clinical outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), independent of anatomical measures like minimal stent area (MSA). This finding comes from a new substudy of the ILUMIEN IV trial, highlighting the potential of VFR to provide incremental… View more

A greater number of traditional cardiovascular risk factors is strongly associated with increased coronary plaque vulnerability in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), particularly in culprit lesions, according to a new analysis published in JACC.¹ The study provides a direct morphological link between the cumulative burden of risk factors and the high-risk plaque features that… View more
