New insights in coronary atherosclerosis using intracoronary imaging

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 abstract submissions

Summary

This session provides new insights into coronary atherosclerosis through intracoronary imaging studies. It investigates the relationship between Lp(a) levels and high-risk plaques, characteristics of vulnerable plaques and thrombus in ACS, non-culprit lesion events, lipid core burden in STEMI, and the prognostic value of AI-derived lipid-to-cap ratios, enhancing understanding of plaque vulnerability and risk stratification.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • The relationship between Lp (a) levels and the imaging manifestations of high-risk plaque in coronary artery disease
  • OCT-defined vulnerable plaques and intracoronary thrombus in acute coronary syndromes
