Coronary plaque volume quantification using coronary computed tomography angiography is associated with periprocedural myocardial injury in patients with chronic coronary syndrome

TOC Summary This study investigated the relationship between periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) and plaque volume assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). PMI is a common complication following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is associated with worse outcomes. We found that both total plaque volume and low-attenuation plaque volume, measured at target lesions and across all lesions per patient, were significantly higher in patients with myocardial injury afte…
