This research is testing a new imaging technique called FAPI PET/CT scanning to see if it can predict which patients will experience serious heart problems within one year after having a procedure to open completely blocked coronary arteries. The scan works by detecting areas of scarring and inflammation in the heart muscle and artery walls. Researchers hope this imaging tool will help doctors better understand which patients are at higher risk so they can plan better follow-up care.
Currently, doctors don't have a reliable way to predict which patients will have serious heart complications after this type of artery-opening procedure. This trial exists to see whether the new imaging scan can fill that gap and help doctors identify at-risk patients earlier, potentially improving long-term outcomes.

You would start by having the special FAPI imaging scan before your heart procedure. Then you would receive the standard procedure to open your blocked artery. After that, you would be followed closely for 12 months with visits and possibly additional tests to check your health and see if you have any heart complications. The study tracks information like your symptoms, test results, and overall quality of life throughout this year.
