Coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is an established marker of coronary artery disease (CAD) and has been extensively used to stratify risk in asymptomatic individuals. However, the value of CACS in predicting plaque morphology in patients with advanced CAD is less established. The present analysis aims to assess the association between CACS and plaque characteristics detected by near-infrared spectroscopy-intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS) imaging in patients with obstructive CAD.
Comparison of left ventricular mass and wall thickness between cardiac computed tomography angiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging using machine learning algorithms
van Driest FY, van der Geest RJ, Omara SK, Broersen A, Dijkstra J, Jukema JW and Scholte AJHA
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard in the assessment of left ventricle (LV) mass and wall thickness. In recent years, cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has gained widespread usage as an imaging modality. Despite this, limited previous investigations have specifically addressed the potential of CCTA as an alternative modality for quantitative LV assessment. The aim of this study was to compare CCTA derived LV mass and wall thickness with cardiac MRI utilizing machine learning algorithms.
Implications of coronary calcification on the assessment of plaque pathology: a comparison of computed tomography and multimodality intravascular imaging
Yap NAL, Ramasamy A, Tanboga IH, He X, Cap M, Bajaj R, Karaduman M, Jain A, Kitslaar P, Broersen A, Zhang X, Sokooti H, Reiber JHC, Dijkstra J, Ozkor M, Serruys PW, Moon JC, Mathur A, Baumbach A, Torii R, Pugliese F and Bourantas CV
This study aimed to investigate the impact of calcific (Ca) on the efficacy of coronary computed coronary angiography (CTA) in evaluating plaque burden (PB) and composition with near-infrared spectroscopy-intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS) serving as the reference standard.
Impact of multiple ballooning on coronary lesions as assessed by optical coherence tomography and intravascular ultrasound

Optimal lesion preparation for coronary lesions has been reappraised in the interventional community, given the increasing use of drug-coated balloons for de novo lesions; however, whether multiple ballooning could achieve more favorable angiographic results compared with single ballooning remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the incremental effect of multiple ballooning on de novo coronary lesions over single ballooning as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
