Additional value of transluminal attenuation gradient in CT angiography to predict hemodynamic significance of coronary artery stenosis.
OBJECTIVES The current study evaluates the incremental value of transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG), TAG with corrected contrast opacification (CCO), and TAG with exclusion of calcified coronary segments (ExC) over coronary computed tomography angiogram (CTA) alone using fractional flow reserve (FFR) as the gold standard. BACKGROUND TAG is defined as the contrast opacification gradient al...
متن کاملAssessment of patients skin dose undergoing coronary angiography and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)
Background: Practice of interventional cardiology procedures such as Coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has largely increased in recent years and is now changing to a matter of routine in many hospitals. The purpose of this study was to measure skin and organ doses in patients undergoing CA and PTCA and to find a probable relation with c...

متن کاملAssessment of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty by quantitative coronary angiography: diameter versus densitometric area measurements.
Cineangiograms of 138 patients who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) were analyzed with a computer-based coronary angiography analysis system. The results before and after dilatation are presented. In a first study group (120 patients), the severity of the obstructive lesions derived from the automatically detected contours was evaluated in absolute terms and in pe...
متن کاملResponse to letter re: Carotid atherosclerotic plaques standardized uptake values: methodological issues on reproducibility and accuracy
Correspondence/Findings To assess accuracy and precision of the positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) carotid standardized uptake values (SUV) of 18F– fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) as an inflammatory biomarker for determining cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke, methodology and statistical issues should be taken into account. Otherwise, misleading messages will be the main ...
