Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) and Coronary Angiography (CAG) in the investigation of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): A Retrospective study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coronary angiography (CAG) is the conventional procedure, considered gold standard for examination of coronary arteries. Being a standardised CAG comparatively safer but an invasive procedure. Therefore, it carries some amount risk compared to computed tomography (CTA). CTA new technique non-invasive and reported be as or more accurate efficient functional stress test in diagnosis CAD comparable CAG. In this retrospective study, we have analysed data 76 patients who underwent CTA. Further 18 from these 76, especially with higher percentage stenosis Thus could used screening (non invasive) method exam

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...

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...

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)....

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has high negative predictive power for detecting coronary artery disease. However CCTA is limited by moderate positive predictive power in the detection of myocardial ischemia. This is not unexpected because the diameter of a stenosis is a poor indicator of myocardial ischemia and discrepancy between the severity of stenosis and noninvasive tests ...
متن کاملCoronary Artery Disease Diagnostic Performance of 64- versus 256-Slice Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography Compared with Conventional Coronary Angiography in Patients with Suspected Coronary Artery Disease
Purpose: The newer 256-slice computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) has the capability of improving diagnostic performance in the detection of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to 64-slice CTCA. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of 64versus 256-slice CTCA in two similar populations. Methods: Our study included 120 consecutive patients who ...
