Can coronary computed tomography angiography replace invasive angiography? Coronary computed tomography angiography cannot replace invasive angiography.
O ne million patients undergo invasive coronary angiogra-phy (CA) in the United States every year. 1 In view of its invasive nature and related costs, noninvasive imaging of coronary imaging has the theoretical appeal to improve comfort for patients, reduce cost, and refine patient selection to limit invasive procedures to patients requiring treatment for ischemic coronary artery disease (CAD)....
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy and impact of computed tomographic coronary angiography on utilization of invasive coronary angiography.
BACKGROUND Computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTA), given its high negative predictive value, is a potential gatekeeper for invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Before CTA can be further accepted into clinical practice, its impact on healthcare resources needs to be better understood. We sought to determine the clinical impact of CTA on ICA referrals, CTA accuracy, and normalcy rate. ...
متن کاملThe Contest Between Magnetic Resonance and Computed Tomographic Coronary Angiography
Noninvasive coronary imaging is often considered the Holy Grail among cardiologists and radiologists interested in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary atherosclerosis.1–3 That noninvasive coronary imaging would aid in establishing new prevention and treatment strategies in a wide range of clinical scenarios, ranging from early subclinical diagnosis of atherosclerosis in asymptomatic individ...
متن کاملRates of downstream invasive coronary angiography and revascularization: computed tomographic coronary angiography vs. Tc-99m single photon emission computed tomography.
AIMS Computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTA) appears to be a useful modality for the detection of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Recent data suggest that CTA may reduce the frequency of normal invasive coronary angiograms. However, there remains concern that the implementation of CTA could increase referrals to invasive coronary angiography (ICA). To further support the clin...
متن کاملNon-invasive coronary computed tomographic angiography for patients with suspected coronary artery disease: the Coronary Angiography by Computed Tomography with the Use of a Submillimeter resolution (CACTUS) trial.
BACKGROUND Non-invasive coronary angiography by multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) is a promising method for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the clinical role of this method has not been established for specific patient cohorts. Therefore, the objective of the current prospective, blinded study was to investigate the diagnostic value of coronary MSCT angiograp...
