Study on Risk Factors and Prognostic Value of Non-target Lesion Progression in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

The goal of this observational study is to explore the risk factors and prognostic value of non-target coronary lesion progression in patients aged 18-80 years with established coronary artery disease who are scheduled for repeat coronary angiography. The main questions it aims to answer are: What clinical, inflammatory and metabolic factors are independently associated with the progression of untreated non-target lesions after percutaneous coronary intervention? Does the initial interventional strategy (drug-eluting stent vs. drug-coated balloon) influence the long-term progression of non-target coronary lesions and subsequent clinical outcomes? Researchers will compare participants treated with drug-eluting stents (DES) and those treated with drug-coated balloons (DCB) at their prior index procedure to see if different local interventional modalities lead to differences in non-target lesion progression and major adverse cardiovascular events during follow-up. Participants will: Undergo clinically indicated repeat coronary angiography, with offline quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) analysis of all coronary segments Provide baseline clinical data, medical history and blood samples for inflammatory and metabolic biomarker testing Complete 3 years of regular clinical follow-up to track lesion evolution and cardiovascular endpoints
