Abstract

Objectives

To evaluate CT coronary angiography (CTA) when compared with catheter coronary angiography (CCA), for the detection of coronary artery stenoses and rate of optimal coronary artery segment visualization.

Method

Retrospective, two-center study enrolling 26 patients who underwent CCA and ECG-gated 16-detector CTA (slice thickness 0.6 mm; rotation 500 ms).

Results and conclusion

283 segments were available for postprocessing. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value were, respectively, 80, 100, and 100%, for detecting more than 50% luminal stenoses, when optimally visualized segments were considered, in comparison to CCA. Negative predictive value was excellent (98%). Rate of non-optimally visualized coronary segments was 26%. Most clinical benefits of coronary CT angiography should probably be obtained when it is performed to exclude significant stenoses on selected populations of patients with a low pre-test probability of severe coronary artery disease, and under optimal conditions of controlled heart rate and minimal presence of calcium.
