The aim of this paper is to describe a knowledge-based system that interprets three-dimensional (3D) coronary artery movement, using data from digital subtraction angiography image sequences. Dynamic information obtained from artery centerline 3D reconstruction and optical flow estimation, is classified according to experimental evidence indicating that artery displacements are quasi-homogeneous by a segment analysis. Characteristic motion features like displacement direction, perpendicular/radial components, rotation direction, curvature and torsion are qualitatively described from an image sequence using symbolic labels. These facts are then related and interpreted using anatomical-functional knowledge provided by a specialist, as well as spatial and temporal knowledge, applying spatio-temporal reasoning schemes. Facts, knowledge and reasoning rules are stated in a declarative form. Detailed examples of local and global interpretation results, using a real reconstructed angiographic biplane image sequence are presented in order to illustrate how our system suitably interprets coronary artery dynamic behavior.

Background: He's team have recently developed a new Coronary Artery Tree description and Lesion EvaluaTion (CatLet) angiographic scoring system, which is capable of accounting for the variability in coronary anatomy, and risk-stratifying patients with coronary artery disease. Preliminary studies have demonstrated its superiority over the the Synergy between percutaneous coronary intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score with respect to outcome predictions for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. However, there are fewer studies on the prognostic in chronic coronary artery disease(CAD).

Background: The optimal timing for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is debatable.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare outcomes based on the timing of PCI in stable coronary artery disease patients undergoing TAVR.
Methods: Leveraging the STS/ACC TVT Registry and Medicare Linkage, we analyzed patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing PCI and TAVR between 2015 and 2023 using the SAPIEN 3 balloon-expandable valve platform.
