Despite advances in TAVI technology and techniques, stroke rates have remained unchanged, with trials of cerebral embolic protection devices failing to reduce rates. The concept of air emboli has not been previously investigated in TAVI procedures. We hypothesised that gaseous emboli could play a significant role in TAVI and that carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) flushing of the TAVI valves could reduce the incidence of new neurological lesions post-TAVI.</p><p><strong>Aims: </strong>We aimed to demonstrate the neuroprotective benefits of CO<sub>2</sub> flushing in TAVI patients.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>INTERCEPTavi is a single-centre, blinded, randomised controlled pilot trial that studied the effects of flushing TAVI valves with CO<sub>2</sub> versus conventional saline on neurological outcomes post-TAVI, assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transcranial Doppler (TCD). Patients with aortic stenosis were randomised after obtaining vascular access. Periprocedural TCD assessed solid and gaseous emboli to the brain.

CO<sub>2</sub> flushing significantly reduced the average number of lesions per patient (TAVI-CO<sub>2</sub>: 4 lesions/patient vs TAVI-S: 8.5 lesions/patient; p=0.031). The total infarct area was numerically lower in the TAVI-CO<sub>2</sub> group (40.32 mm<sup>2</sup> vs 93.20 mm<sup>2</sup>), although this did not reach statistical significance (p=0.111). Similarly, TCD showed fewer microembolic signals in the TAVI-CO<sub>2</sub> arm, primarily due to a reduction in gaseous emboli, but this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.5).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>INTERCEPTavi is a pioneering, first-in-human randomised trial that demonstrated that CO<sub>2</sub> flushing of the TAVI valve reduces the number of cerebral lesions measured on MRI.

Beyond the traditional boundaries of anatomical imaging and invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR), emerging techniques based on coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography and invasive coronary artery angiography now allow the derivation of physiological information without pressure wires, hyperaemic agents, or additional procedures. These image-based indices, commonly referred to as FFR-CT and angiography-derived FFR, are reshaping both diagnostic and interventional cardiology. This review provides an updated synthesis of the latest evidence on their clinical integration. FFR-CT has demonstrated its ability to refine diagnostic pathways, reduce unnecessary invasive angiography, and safely guide management decisions within precision diagnostic strategies. In parallel, angiography-derived FFR has matured into a real-time wire-free solution within the catheterisation laboratory. Randomised studies confirm that physiology-guided revascularisation improves procedural efficiency and optimises outcomes compared with angiography alone. Beyond ischaemia detection, these technologies now extend to virtual stenting, procedural simulation, and the identification of vulnerable plaques through haemodynamic indices such as endothelial shear stress and perivascular inflammation mapping. Together, these developments mark a paradigm shift: from anatomy-based to physiology-driven and, ultimately, prediction-guided coronary intervention. By merging artificial intelligence, computational modelling, and advanced imaging, CT- and angiography-derived physiology offer the prospect of fully integrated real-time functional assessment. This convergence defines a new frontier in coronary medicine, where precision, automation, and clinical impact coalesce to transform everyday cardiovascular practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":54378,"journal":{"name":"Eurointervention","volume":"22 16","pages":"847-863"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13456039/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148801543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the individual endpoint components, non-fatal MI (HR 4.07, 95% CI: 1.23-13.52; p=0.013) and unplanned revascularisation (HR 1.97, 95% CI: 1.07-3.64; p=0.027) occurred more frequently in patients with at least one HRP. In an exploratory landmark analysis, the risk associated with presence of HRP was observed only during the first 2 years of follow-up. The lesion-level incidence of target lesion failure did not differ significantly between groups (HR 1.65, 95% CI: 0.91-2.96; p=0.097).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Non-flow-limiting, high-risk non-culprit plaques are associated with adverse patient-level clinical outcomes during long-term follow-up after MI, potentially with a more pronounced short-term risk.</p><p><strong>Clinicaltrials: </strong>gov: NCT03857971.</p>","PeriodicalId":54378,"journal":{"name":"Eurointervention","volume":" ","pages":"864-873"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13456044/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148037599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
