NCT06029777
CAD is a leading cause of mortality in Europe. cCTA is recommended to rule out obstructive CAD, but, in most patients, it shows non-obstructive CAD. The management of these patients is unclear due to lack of reproducible quantitative measurement, beyond stenosis severity, capable to assess the risk of disease progression towards developing MACEs. To improve identification and phenotypization of patients at high risk of disease progression, the investigators propose the application of artificial intelligence algorithms to cCTA images to automatically extract periluminal radiomics features to characterize the atherosclerotic process. By leveraging machine-learning empowered radiomics the investigators aim to improve patients' risk stratification in a robust, quantitative and reproducible fashion. By developing a novel quantitative AI based cCTA measure, the investigators expect to provide a risk score capable to identify patients who can benefit of a more aggressive medical treatment and management, thus improving outcome
NCT07107971
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether treating vulnerable plaques in the coronary arteries with a drug-coated balloon can make them less dangerous than using standard medication alone. The study includes adults with acute coronary syndrome (a type of heart problem caused by reduced blood flow in the coronary arteries). The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Does the drug-coated balloon reduce the amount of fat inside the plaque more than medication alone? * Is this treatment safe for patients? Participants will: * Undergo imaging of their coronary arteries during their planned heart procedure (PCI) * Be randomly assigned to receive either a drug-coated balloon treatment or no extra treatment * Undergo a heart scan (CT scan of the coronary arteries) within 2 weeks and again around 9 months after the procedure. * Undergo a second heart catherization 9 months later to examine changes in the plaque.
