And the residual CatLet score (rCS) has reflected the burden of residual lesions. This study was conducted to explore the utility of the rCS and its derived indexes-Catlet revascularization index (CRI) among patient with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A study cohort was established comprising patients who received PCI in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from May 2019 to July 2020.

Kaplan\u2013Meier analysis revealed that higher levels of residual coronary lesions, as measured by rCS and its derivatives, correlated with a higher incidence of adverse cardiovascular events.
