This is a very important analysis pointing toward the future of vulnerable plaque assessment and lesion selection. Not everything we once considered “high risk” is necessarily associated with high risk. The challenge ahead is to identify which plaque features truly matter—and which lesions genuinely warrant intervention.
Our work from PREVENT now publ in Circ. Only 37% of FFR neg severe lsns (PB>70% & MLA<4mm2) were lipid-rich plaques (LRP) by NIRS. Event rates were much higher and preventive PCI was only effective in LRPs. PCI of "true vulnerable plaques" may improve prognosis and avoid over-Rx.

P4 is the first large RCT investigating the value of CT-guided PCI We will present the results at the @TCTMD Late Breaking Clinical Trial session @crfheart @GEHealthCare @Heartflow
🆕🔥🔥🔥The P4 randomised clinical trial evaluates whether a comprehensive CCTA-guided PCI strategy is non-inferior to IVUS-guided PCI for 12-month target vessel failure. The CCTA strategy integrates anatomical and plaque assessment, FFRCT, virtual PCI planning, and intraprocedural CT-fluoroscopy co-registration. 🔗eurointervention.pcronline.c… @bouissetfred @belmontemarta1 @ziadalinyc @SimoneBiscaglia @engstr_thomas @RajMakkarMD @TheLADoctor @DrPeterOKane @divaka_perera @gpontone1 @yadersandoval @gmincione96 @GGStefanini @Eric_Van_Belle @DMunhoz @KoshiroSakai_MD @sbrugaletta @AIhdayhid @JonathonLeipsic @BernardBruyne @Ganeev @DAndreiniMD @ColletCarlos

A major milestone for the P5 OPTIMAL trial: the first patients have now been randomized in the U.S. P5 is exploring a new paradigm for the assessment and management of coronary calcium before complex PCI, using #CCTA to guide treatment planning and calcium modification strategies. Congratulations to the Minneapolis Heart Institute @MHIF_Heart, @yadersandoval @ManosBR and team for becoming our first U.S. enrolling site and for being at the forefront of innovation and clinical care. @jcspratt @crfheart @Heartflow @ShockwaveIVL @GEHealthCare #PCI #CoronaryCalcium #CardiacCT #CCTA

Back To The Future (Again) For FFR! 5-year FAME-3 data reassert the importance of functionally complete revascularization after PCI for the best outcomes. Much like AIR-STEMI, FAME-3 tells us that “unnecessary” PCI in stable 3-vessel CAD comes with a penalty. 👉🏼 This is the Goldilocks problem of PCI - too many or too few DES both negatively impact outcomes! Physiology guided PCI is the key to getting it just right!🧐 @Hragy @ihtanboga @mirvatalasnag @mmamas1973 @ziadalinyc @DrSiyabMD @ColletCarlos @rajivxgulati

CRF is deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Jo Dens. A widely respected interventional cardiologist, educator, and mentor, he was a beloved figure in the European CTO community who trained and inspired countless physicians throughout his career. Remembered for his expertise, generosity, and remarkable spirit, Professor Dens leaves an enduring legacy that will continue to shape cardiovascular care for years to come. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and colleagues.
