Figure 17:

CAD-RADS 3/P3/HRP/S. Example demonstrating a patent stent (S) in the proximal RCA (0% stenosis) with high-risk plaque (HRP) in the proximal LAD with thick MIP images resulting in 50–69% stenosis and overall severe amount of total coronary plaque burden (P3). In isolation, the proximal LAD lesion would be coded CAD RADS 3/P3/HRP. However, since CAD RADS is coded on a per-patient basis, and a RCA stent is present, this patient would be coded as CAD RADS 3/P3/S/HRP.
