ASSESSMENT OF CORONARY ARTERY STENT RESTENOSIS USING 256-MULTISLICE COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (256-MSCT)

[Evaluation of coronary stent restenosis with multislice computed tomography].

Noninvasive Assessment of In-Stent Restenosis of the Coronary Artery with Using 16-Slice Computed Tomography

tion has been widely used for managing coronary artery occlusive disease. However, the risk of in-stent restenosis is about 10-40%, as determined on the angiographic follow-up at 6 months, and this remains a clinical issue in cardiology (1-3). Early identification of in-stent restenosis is important to reduce the number of recurrent ischemic episodes and to prevent myocardial infarction, thereb...

Correction: Assessment of the Coronary Venous System Using 256-Slice Computed Tomography

PURPOSE To investigate the coronary venous system and its relation to adjacent structures using 256-slice computed tomography (CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study consisted of 102 patients who underwent coronary CT angiography (CTA) using 256-slice CT. For each patient, the coronary venous system and its relation to adjacent structures were evaluated. The appropriate locations and diameters ...

Image Quality of 256-Slice Computed Tomography for Coronary Angiography.

PURPOSE To assess the image quality of 256-slice computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and to identify possible impact factors associated with image quality. METHODS From November 2009 to January 2010, 506 patients underwent 256-slice CTA at our institute. A total of 451 patients were enrolled in our study, after 55 patients were excluded because of prior bypass surgery and stenting. CTA ima...

Usefulness of 64-slice multislice computed tomography coronary angiography to assess in-stent restenosis.

OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice multislice computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography in the follow-up of patients with previous coronary stent implantation. BACKGROUND Recent investigations have shown increased image quality and diagnostic accuracy for noninvasive coronary angiography with 64-slice MSCT as compared with previous-generation MS...
