Slow-flow phenomenon after elective percutaneous coronary intervention of computed tomography-detected vulnerable coronary lesion
No-reflow or slow-flow phenomenon is one of the serious complications of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in acute myocardial infarction, as well as during elective procedures, and is an independent predictor of myocardial infarction, and in-hospital and long-term mortality. We present a case of an elective PCI of native coronary artery lesion that was assessed to be vulnerable based o...
متن کاملUse of multislice computed tomography angiography in percutaneous coronary intervention
The introduction of multislice computed tomography angiography (MSCT) has provided new information for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), especially in complex lesions. It provides valuable adjustments about coronary lesions, which are predictors of procedural success, for example, in chronic total occlusions, in bifurcations and recently in aorto-ostial lesion PCI. In multiple fields, t...
متن کاملComputed tomography coronary angiography.
Recent developments in computed tomography technology have made imaging of the coronary arteries possible. All the same, the rapid motion and small dimensions of the coronary vessels make coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) challenging. With the last generations of 16- and 64-slice computed tomography and adequate patient preparation (which includes lowering of the heart rat...
متن کاملCoronary Computed Tomography Angiography
Coronary computed tomographic angiography (cCTA) as a noninvasive approach underlies a rapid technological development with an impressive improvement of spatial and temporal resolution of the images. Therefore, it has become an accurate and costeffective method to detect or exclude obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with low to medium cardiovascular risk profile, as recommend...
متن کاملCan 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)....
