چکیده
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of a new generation spiral multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scanner (Brilliance 40, Philips Medical Systems, Cleveland, Ohio) in the diagnosis of coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR). BACKGROUND Noninvasive imaging of ISR would be clinically useful, but artifacts caused by metallic stent struts have limited the role of early generation MDCT scanners. METHODS We examined 65 patients (age 63 +/- 12 years, 48 [73.8%] men) with 111 implanted coronary stents who were referred for repeat invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Patients underwent 40-slice MDCT one to three days before scheduled ICA, using intravenous contrast enhancement. Images were reconstructed in multiple formats using retrospective electrocardiographic gating. Stents were viewed in their long and short axes and luminal contrast attenuation graded from MDCT grade 1 (minimal restenosis) to 4 (severe restenosis) by consensus of two observers. RESULTS In-stent restenosis (>/=60% luminal narrowing by quantitative coronary angiography) was found on ICA in 18 (16.2%) of the stented segments and in 16 (24.6%) patients. The MDCT findings correlated with ICA restenosis, with restenosis in only 1 of 59 (1.6%) MDCT grade 1 segments, but in more than three-quarters (12 of 15, 80%) of MDCT grade 4 segments (sensitivity 72.2%, specificity 92.5%, positive predictive value [PPV] 65.0%, negative predictive value [NPV] 94.5% [five stents not assessable by MDCT considered as restenosis]). Using MDCT grades 3 or 4 combined for restenosis, sensitivity of MDCT was 88.9%, specificity 80.6%, PPV 47.1%, and NPV 97.4%. CONCLUSIONS In-stent restenosis can be diagnosed with moderate sensitivity using a new generation 40-slice MDCT scanner. The high NPV implies a significant role for MDCT in excluding ISR.

tion has been widely used for managing coronary artery occlusive disease. However, the risk of in-stent restenosis is about 10-40%, as determined on the angiographic follow-up at 6 months, and this remains a clinical issue in cardiology (1-3). Early identification of in-stent restenosis is important to reduce the number of recurrent ischemic episodes and to prevent myocardial infarction, thereb...
