AI-Driven Dynamic Prediction of Non-Target Lesion Progression After PCI: A Chinese Multicenter Cohort Study (VISION-PCI)

December 17, 2025 updated by: Fang Wang, China-Japan Friendship Hospital

DeVelopment of an Artificial Intelligence-Driven Dynamic Prediction and Precision Stratification System for Coronary Non-Target LesIon ProgressiON After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Multimodal Data-Enabled Multicenter Cohort Study in China

Coronary artery disease remains a leading cause of global mortality. Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves patient outcomes, the long-term risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) driven by the progression of non-target lesions (NTLs) remains substantial and continues to increase, while current risk stratification tools remain inadequate for predicting NTL progression. This multicenter cohort study aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven system for the dynamic prediction and precision stratification of NTL progression after PCI. Utilizing comprehensive multimodal data from 52,577 Chinese patients-including clinical profiles, multi-omics blood biomarkers, and coronary imaging-the research pursues three primary objectives: (1) to identify and validate 2-3 specific biomarkers for NTL progression risk using multi-omics approaches; (2) to construct an integrated risk assessment and early-warning system by applying machine learning to multimodal data for predicting NTL progression and MACE; and (3) to establish metabolic and imaging-based subtypes to create a precision management system that optimizes secondary prevention strategies by identifying specific high-risk populations. This study is expected to provide a novel tool for accurate identification of high-risk patients and personalized post-PCI management, ultimately aiming to improve long-term prognosis.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Composite endpoint of NTL progression-related myocardial infarction or revascularization
Time Frame: 12 month follow-up
  1. NTL progression-related myocardial infarction was defined in accordance with the fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction due to any segment of the nontarget vessel or lesion.
  2. NTL progression-related revascularization was defined as revascularization driven by angina or ischemia, either PCI or CABG, of any segment of the nontarget vessel or lesion.
12 month follow-up

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Qualitative data on NTL progression
Time Frame: 12 month follow-up
The following conditions are defined as NTL progression: (1) NCL stenosis ≥50% at baseline PCI with ≥10% NCL progression at angiographic follow-up; (2) NCL stenosis <50% at baseline PCI with ≥30% NCL progression at angiographic follow-up; (3) NCL progression ≥30% without NCL at baseline PCI; (4) NCL progression to complete occlusion. Quantitative data for NTL progression (QCA) are obtained by analyzing coronary angiographic images to determine lesion progression.
12 month follow-up
Quantitative data on NTL progression
Time Frame: 12 month follow-up
QCA analyzes coronary angiography images to determine the progression of lesions: Coronary angiography was evaluated by two independent cardiologists who were unaware of all other clinical data of the patients, using the MEDCON TCS QCA software. First, the edges of the contrast-enhanced vessels were delineated using an automatic edge detection algorithm. After identifying the starting and ending points on the enhanced coronary images, a vascular path was created. Subsequently, the vessel contour was drawn along the path. The path and vessel contour were automatically determined based on contrast density, with occasional manual editing required by the analysts. Measured variables included minimum lumen diameter and degree of lumen stenosis (minimum lumen diameter/adjacent contrast vessel diameter).
12 month follow-up
NTL progression-related myocardial infarction
Time Frame: 12 month follow-up

12 month follow-up
NTL progression-related revascularization
Time Frame: 12 month follow-up
NTL progression-related revascularization was defined as revascularization driven by angina or ischemia, either PCI or CABG, of any segment of the nontarget vessel or lesion.
