BACKGROUND:Recently, it was reported that noncalcified plaque (NCP) volume was an independent predictor for cardiac events. Plaque volume was measured by computed tomography angiography, plaque vulnerability by optical coherence tomography, and the level of coronary inflammation by PCAT attenuation. versus 75.9%;P<0.001),

These new findings suggest that people with high-risk plaques that are likely to rupture could benefit from the procedure as a pre-emptive measure rather than waiting for a heart attack or other severe reduction in blood flow to occur. During PCI, an operator inserts a stent into a blocked artery through a catheter in the groin or arm.
