PROSPECT: A landmark trial highlighting the utility of intravascular imaging for the prediction of future major adverse cardiovascular events. The trial defined 3 important IVUS and virtual histology-IVUS parameters: minimal lumen area <4 mm, plaque burden >70%, and VH-defined TCFA. However, the limited resolution of IVUS limited the accuracy of TCFA detection.
