What is the role of AI in the cath lab of tomorrow?

Louis‑Marie Desroche and Joost Daemen explore the growing role of artificial intelligence in interventional cardiology. From risk stratification and CT-based plaque analysis to intracoronary imaging and angiography-derived physiology, AI is already transforming decision-making before and during PCI. Looking ahead, they highlight AI’s potential to become a true “co‑pilot” in the cath lab. However, key challenges remain, including the need for large-scale clinical validation and closer collaboration between clinicians, industry, and data experts to fully translate these technologies into improved patient outcomes.
