High-Intensity Plaques on Noncontrast T1-Weighted Imaging as a Predictor of Periprocedural Myocardial Injury.

Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) routinely achieves good angiographic success, 5% to 30% of patients experience periprocedural myocardial injury (pMI), which is associated with long-term adverse outcomes and immediate adverse events [(1)][1]. Because coronary high-intensity
