Background: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of mortality globally. Hypercholesterolemia accelerates atherosclerotic development and is an independent modifiable risk factor for ASCVD. Reducing cholesterol levels is effective in preventing ASCVD.

In-stent restenosis represents a major cause of failure of percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent implantation. Computational multiscale models have recently emerged as powerful tools for investigating the mechanobiological mechanisms underlying vascular adaptation processes during in-stent restenosis. However, to date, the interplay between intervention-induced inflammation, drug delivery and drug retention has been under-investigated.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. It occurs when a thrombus forms after an atherosclerotic plaque bursts, obstructing blood flow to the heart. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is crucial for improving patient survival.

An 82-year-old woman with a history of myocardial infarction presented with worsening effort angina. Coronary angiography (CAG) revealed 75% stenosis in the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD), with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) identifying a severe calcified nodule near a previously implanted drug-eluting stent. The lesion was treated with intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) and a drug-coated balloon (DCB), avoiding left main crossover stenting.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) has been recognized as a chronic progressive inflammatory disorder, and Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for the pathogenesis of CHD. Recent research has underscored the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) as a potent prognostic indicator for individuals suffering from acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study aimed to delve into the relationship between SII and the degree of coronary atherosclerotic stenosis in non-acute myocardial infarction patients with or without DM.
