Implication
May support risk stratification by CAD burden post-PCI; leaves open whether targeted therapies reduce progression.

O
Outcome
Clinical plaque progression requiring nontarget lesion PCI by 1 yearhard clinical
Approximately 6% of patients undergoing PCI experience clinical progression of incidental asymptomatic lesions requiring intervention within 1 year, with risk driven by greater baseline CAD burden.
