BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) is a new invasive indicator of myocardial ischaemia, and its diagnostic performance is as good as the "gold standard" of myocardial ischaemia diagnosis: fractional flow reserve (FFR). iFR...
. Bifurcation detection in intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images plays a significant role in guiding optimal revascularization strategies for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We propose a bifurcation detection method usin...

This study was conducted to develop and validate a deep learning model for delineating intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images of coronary arteries.Using a total of 1240 40-MHz IVUS pullbacks with 191,407 frames, the model for lumen and external elast...
The importance of 3D reconstruction of coronary arteries using multiple coronary angiography (CAG) images has been increasingly recognized in the field of cardiovascular disease management. This process relies on the camera matrix's optimization, nee...
BACKGROUND: Stent malapposition (SM) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for myocardial infarction continues to present significant clinical challenges. In recent years, machine learning (ML) models have demonstrated potential in disea...
BACKGROUND: Timely prevention of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) is imperative for reducing cardiovascular diseases-related mortality. Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), the adipose tissue surrounding coronary arteries, has attracted inc...

BACKGROUND: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) represents the gold standard in guiding the decision to proceed or not with coronary revascularization of angiographically intermediate coronary lesion (AICL). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows to car...
Prognostic markers for long-term outcomes are lacking in patients with deferred (nonculprit) coronary artery lesions. This study aimed to identify the morphological criteria for predicting adverse outcomes and validate their clinical impact. Using de...
Segmentation of the coronary artery is an important task for the quantitative analysis of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images and is being stimulated by the field of deep learning. However, the complex structures with tiny and narr...
