Perivascular fat attenuation index value and plaque volume increased in non-target lesions of coronary arteries after stenting

European Radiology, 2023
Progression of non-target lesions (NTLs) after stenting has been reported and is associated with the triggering of an inflammatory response. The perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) may be used as a novel imaging biomarker for the direct quantification of coronary inflammation.To investigate whether FAI values can help identify changes in ...

Predictive performance of the perivascular fat attenuation index for interventional antegrade percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion

European Radiology, 2022
This study aimed to investigate the association between the perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) and the success of the antegrade percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO).This study evaluated patients with only one CTO lesion observed on conventional coronary angiography (CAG) who underwent coronary computed ...

Reduction of perivascular inflammation following long-term statin treatment - a coronary CT follow-up study using Fat Attenuation Index

European Heart Journal, 2023
Abstract Background Perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) assessed by coronary computed tomography (CCTA) has been demonstrated to represent a reliable marker of coronary inflammation. Several studies have explored the potential anti-inflammatory effects of statins in reducing the risk of plaque ...

Lp(a) and vascular inflammation: data from perivascular fat attenuation index measurements

European Journal of Preventive Cardiology
Abstract Introduction/Purpose Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] values consist an independent cardiovascular risk factor. So far, there are no approved pharmaceutical treatments available to reduce Lp(a) in clinical practice, while antisense oligonucleotides which can induce a drastic reduction of Lp(a)

Serial change of perivascular fat attenuation index after statin treatment: Insights from a coronary CT angiography follow-up study

International Journal of Cardiology, 2020
Perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) was thought to be an indicator of active vessel inflammation surrounding coronary plaques. However, whether this index can be reduced by statin treatment remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the serial change of lesion-specific perivascular FAI as quantified by coronary computed tomography (CCTA) after ...

[Association of coronary perivascular fat attenuation index, the parameters of plaque and fractional flow reserve].

Zhonghua yi xue za zhi, 2021
Objective: To explore the association of coronary perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI), the parameters of plaque and fractional flow reserve (FFR). Methods: A total of 113 patients (with 141 plaques) (78 males and 35 females, age from 40 to 83 years) with stable coronary artery disease were retrospectively collected from Jingling Hospital and ...

OP4 Perivascular fat attenuation index mapping around the right and left coronary artery independently predict cardiac mortality

Scientific oral presentations, 2020
Introduction Coronary inflammation induces spatial changes in perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) composition, which can now be detected as spatial changes in PVAT attenuation quantified by the perivascular Fat Attenuation Index (FAI) on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

Perivascular fat attenuation index and high-risk plaque features evaluated by coronary CT angiography: relationship with serum inflammatory marker level

The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2020
The present study aimed to investigate the association between perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI), high-risk plaque features and serum level of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). Consecutive patients with intermediate pre-test probability of CAD, who were referred for coronary CT angiography (CCTA), were included.

Diagnostic Ability of Perivascular Fat Attenuation Index in Predicting Atherosclerotic Plaque Formation Proximal to Myocardial Bridging of the Left Anterior Descending Artery within 3 Years

Academic Radiology, 2023
This study was designed to investigate the association between the perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) and atherosclerotic plaque formation proximal to myocardial bridging (MB) of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) within 3 years.LAD-MB patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography at least twice between January 2016 and ...

A preliminary coronary computed tomography angiography–based study of perivascular fat attenuation index: relation with epicardial adipose tissue and its distribution over the entire coronary vasculature

European Radiology, 2022
To investigate the perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) in association with epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) parameters and its distribution over the entire coronary vasculature in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).Patients with known or suspected CAD who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography from January 1,
