Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: (1) patients were admitted with ACS (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and unstable angina pectoris); (2) intermediate stenosis in non-culprit lesions on coronary angiography or CCTA; (3) NIRS-IVUS evaluation for intermediate stenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention; and (4) each non-culprit lesion was evaluated using CCTA and FFRCT performed within a duration of 14 days between CT and percutaneous coronary intervention.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: (1) chronic kidney disease as shown by an estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 ml/min/1.73 m2; (2) presentation with hemodynamic instability; (3) severe valvular heart diseases, (4) left main trunk lesions; (5) lesions that could not be evaluated by NIRS-IVUS for any reason (e.g., tortuous vessels, severe stenosis, and calcification that made catheter passage difficult); and (6) poor image quality that resulted in an inability to perform CCTA or NIRS-IVUS analysis.
Design outcomes

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Correlation between maxLCBI4mm values as indicated by NIRS-IVUS and plaque density,remodeling index, presence of microcalcification and napkin ring sign as assessed by CCTA and difference between FFR-CT proximal and distal to the stenosis (delta-FFR-CT) in non-responsive lesions | — |
