Description
Yong-Kyun Kim and five co-authors searched heart angiograms for signs that predict which borderline artery narrowings will later need a stent or bypass, in a 2024 study. Intermediate lesions are hard calls, since they may or may not progress. The single-center study followed 437 patients who had repeat angiograms, about thirty-one percent of whom later had their lesion treated.
Patients whose lesions were later treated had, on average, tighter narrowings and more lesions with side branches or a hazy look. In the final model, haziness more than doubled the hazard of later treatment, and a narrowing of sixty percent or more also predicted it. Lesion length, by contrast, did not separate the groups.
