Use of multislice computed tomography angiography in percutaneous coronary intervention
نویسندگان
چکیده
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, tomographic coronary analysis facilitates decision making by providing data that is unobtainable from conventional coronary angiography. The aim of this article is to assess the contribution of MSCT in PCI.

Multislice computed tomography coronary angiography before percutaneous recanalization of chronic total occlusions
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...

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...

The presence of only a single coronary artery is a rare congenital coronary artery anomaly. In most cases, it is an incidental finding on coronary angiography and has no clinical significance. However, it can cause angina, myocardial infarction or even sudden death, particularly in young patients in whom the course of the artery runs between the aorta and pulmonary artery. In such cases, angiog...

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection can cause stable angina pectoris, unstable angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock and sudden cardiac death. It usually occurs in young to middle aged women. Atherosclerosis, peripartum period, and structural and inflammatory diseases affecting the ar...
