Article Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to determine the rates of target vessel revascularization (TVR) and to determine predictors of TVR from clinical and angiographic variables available in the Prevention of Restenosis With Tranilast and its Outcomes (PRESTO) database.
Background: The rates of TVR after percutaneous revascularization procedures, and its prediction with available clinical and angiographic variables, is less well known.
Methods: We studied nine-month TVR in 11,484 patients enrolled in the PRESTO trial. Clinical, lesion-related, and procedural characteristics were analyzed in a logistic regression model. Study data were divided at random into an 80% training set on which the models were developed and a 20% hold-out set on which the model properties were evaluated.
Results: A total of 14% (n = 1,609) had ischemic TVR. Clinical variables with increased risk for TVR included younger age; hypertension; diabetes mellitus; nonsmokers; unstable angina; previous coronary artery bypass grafting; peripheral vascular disease; procedure- and lesion-related such as ostial location, multilesion angioplasty, location in the left anterior descending artery, length > or =20 mm, in-stent restenosis at baseline, and use of rotablator. There was significant increase in the risk of ischemic TVR at U.S. treatment sites. Smoking and stent placement were associated with lower risk of ischemic TVR. The mean area (+/- SD) under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of the bootstrap samples was 0.66, indicating a modest ability of the model to discriminate patients who needed TVR on follow-up.
Conclusions: Despite being the largest prospective trial designed to test restenosis, the discriminatory ability of the clinical and angiographic variables to predict TVR is modest.

BackgroundChronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), a severe form of peripheral artery disease (PAD), results in significant morbidity and mortality. The Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) is a new tool designed to predict outcomes in CLTI patients undergoing endovascular treatments, yet its relationship with short-term outcomes requires further investigation.ObjectiveThis study evaluates the correlation between GLASS staging and short-term outcomes in CLTI patients treated with endovascular procedures for infrainguinal lesions.

The immediate results of PCI were assessed according to the TIMI scale; complications were assessed both clinically, by the incidence of severe complications (major adverse cardiovascular events, MACE), and angiographically, by the incidence of early and late ST and SR, and de novo stenosis that developed during the two-year observation period.

Background: In clinical practice, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) often suffers from misregistration artifact resulting from voluntary, respiratory, and cardiac motion during acquisition. Most prior efforts to register the background DSA mask to subsequent postcontrast images rely on key point registration using iterative optimization, which has limited real-time application.
Purpose: Leveraging state-of-the-art, unsupervised deep learning, we aim to develop a fast, deformable registration model to substantially reduce DSA misregistration in craniocervical angiography without compromising spatial resolution or introducing new artifacts.
Artificial Intelligence in Cardiac Treatment Decision-Making: An Evaluation of the Performance of ChatGPT Versus the Heart Team in Coronary Revascularization.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the performance of two versions of ChatGPT (o1 and 4o) in making decisions about coronary revascularization and to compare the recommendations of these versions with those of a multidisciplinary Heart Team. Moreover, the study aimed to assess whether the decisions generated by ChatGPT, based on the internal knowledge base of the system and clinical guidelines, align with expert recommendations in real-world coronary artery disease management. Given the increasing prevalence and processing capabilities of large language models, such as ChatGPT, this comparison offers insights into the potential applicability of these systems in complex clinical decision-making.

Background: Invasive coronary physiology including fractional flow reserve (FFR), instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), and coronary flow reserve (CFR) are guideline-endorsed tools to guide the management of coronary artery disease (CAD). Complex factors impact and confound these assessments, and discordance between modalities complicates clinical management. iEquate is a prospective observational trial that combines multi-modality coronary physiology and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to identify the determinants of pressure-wire derived myocardial ischemia and iFR-FFR discordance.
