Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 abstract submissions
Moderators:
A. Ladwiniec, G. Karamasis
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.
