Representative case of patient with MACE. A 58-year-oid male with unstable angina. CCTA showed mixed plaque with moderate stenosis at proximal LAD (yellow arrow in A, B). This lesion was revealed to be hemodynamically insignificant with FFRCT value of 0.93 at proximal LAD, while hemodynamically significant with FFRCT value of 0.63 at distal LAD (C). The patient was treated with medical therapy initially, but 2 months later he suffered a sudden acute anterior myocardial infarction, and underwent emergency revascularization. CCTA, coronary computed tomography angiography; FFRCT, fractional flow reserve derived from computed tomography; MACE, major adverse cardiac events; LAD, left anterior descending
