Multislice computed tomography coronary angiography before percutaneous recanalization of chronic total occlusions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chronic totally occluded coronary arteries are frequently found in symptomatic patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography. However, the presence of such an artery has a significant impact on choice of revascularization treatment. This case report shows the potential of preprocedural multislice computed tomography coronary angiography in guiding percutaneous revascularization of chronic totally occluded coronary arteries.

Use 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 کاملValue of Hybrid Imaging with PET/CT to Guide Percutaneous Revascularization of Chronic Total Coronary Occlusion
Chronic total coronary occlusions (CTO) are documented in approximately one fifth of diagnostic invasive coronary angiographies (ICA). Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) of CTO are challenging and are accompanied by higher complication and lower success rates in comparison with non-CTO PCI. Scrutinous evaluation of ischemia and viability to justify percutaneous revascularization is there...
متن کاملFactors determining success in percutaneous revascularization of chronic total coronary occlusion: multidetector computed tomography analysis.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Percutaneous revascularization of chronic total coronary artery occlusion is a technical challenge and has a lower success rate than other angioplasty procedures. Identification of predictors of failure could lead to better selection of patients with the greatest possibility of success. In this study, we investigate the multidetector computed tomography features asso...
متن کاملCurrent considerations regarding the percutaneous revascularization of chronic total coronary occlusions review
Chronic total coronary artery occlusions are commonly encountered, occurring in 15–33% of patients in the angiography suite. Reasons to consider percutaneous coronary revascularization of these lesions include the relief of angina, enhancement of left ventricular ejection fraction and the potential for improved survival. Owing to the complex nature of these lesions, attempts at percutaneous rev...
متن کاملApplication of 64-slice spiral computed tomography angiography in a follow-up evaluation after coronary stent implantation: A Chinese clinical study
Background: This study assessed the application value of 64-slice spiral computed tomography angiography (CTA) in a follow-up evaluation of patients receiving coronary stent implantation. Materials and Methods: A total of 468 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at our hospital between January 2013 and October 2016 were selected for this study. Coronary angiography an...
