Low-dose computed tomography coronary angiography with prospective triggering: a promise for the future.
omputed tomography for coronary angiography (CTCA) as rapidly evolved into a valuable alternative to invasive oronary angiography for accurate noninvasive assessment f coronary morphology. Although increasing values of ositive predictive values are continuously reported, it is enerally accepted that the strength of this technology at resent lies in its excellent ability to exclude coronary arte...
متن کاملDetection and characterization of coronary bifurcation lesions with 64-slice computed tomography coronary angiography.
AIMS To compare the performance of 64-slice computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in the detection and classification (according to the Medina system) of bifurcation lesions (BLs). METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 323 consecutive patients undergoing 64-slice CTCA prior to ICA. All coronary segments >or=2 mm in diameter were evaluated for the pre...
متن کاملImpact of vessel attenuation on quantitative coronary angiography with 64-slice computed tomography
The aim of the study was to determine the impact of vessel attenuation on quantitative 64-slice computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA). CTCA and invasive quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) were performed in 100 consecutive patients (42 women, 58 men; mean age 64.4+/-9.4 years; age range 39-87 years). In QCA, stenoses were quantified with dedicated software, whereas in CTCA, stenos...
متن کاملQuantitative computed tomographic coronary angiography: does it predict functionally significant coronary stenoses?
BACKGROUND Coronary lesions with a diameter narrowing ≥50% on visual computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA) are generally considered for referral to invasive coronary angiography. However, similar to invasive coronary angiography, visual CTCA is often inaccurate in detecting functionally significant coronary lesions. We sought to compare the diagnostic performance of quantitative CTCA...
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 ...
