A long-waited PREVENT trial is now presented at LBCT-V #ACC2024 🇰🇷From the inception of trial to completion of trial took a decade. ✅1,606 pts with intracoronary imaging-detected “Vulnerable Plaque” randomized 1:1 to (1) Preventive PCI vs (2) OMT alone. ✅Prevent PCI

The PREVENT trial showed that preventive #PCI of focal non-FFR-positive plaques that are angiographically >50% & have evidence of vulnerability on intravascular imaging along w/ OMT is superior to OMT for clinical outcomes at 2 years. Read more: bit.ly/3xuHWrl #ACC24

In 1995 Bernie Meier( who pressed on the puncture site of Gruntzig’s first PTCA case) proposed what was done in PREVENT trial.. Plaque sealing by coronary angioplasty - Meier - 1995 - Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis - Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

This #JACCINT analysis of the IRIS FFR registry demonstrated poststenting #FFR to be associated with #TVF at 5 years. However, the prognostic value of poststenting FFR was observed only in lesions treated without #IVUS guidance bit.ly/3JkuGYY #imagefirst #cvImaging

You may have heard of the "5-6-7-8" rule for LM-LAD-LCx stent MSAs to reduce long term MACE, but this new study in CircInterventions suggests that bigger MSAs are needed. A new "6-8-12" rule? ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…).

Trials, trials, trials: what a passion. I know I’m late, but for me (i.e., subjectively) the most interesting studies of ESC 2024 will be: RESHAPE-HF2 (M-TEER vs GDMT in heart failure) MATTERHORN (M-TEER vs surgery in heart failure) ASSURE DES (antiplatelet therapy in noncardiac
