Gatekeeper for coronary angiography [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2005 We would like to compliment Hoilund-Carlsen and colleagues on their well-designed study on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) as gatekeeper for coronary angiography.1 However, we have some doubts with regard to the use of MPS in a not-low-risk population. In this selection of patients scheduled for coronary angiography, obstructive coronary artery

Circulation, 2013 The introduction of selective coronary angiography by Mason Sones in 1958 stands as a milestone in clinical cardiology. The procedure continues as a cornerstone in the evaluation of the coronary arteries and is indicated not only to diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD) but also to assess its severity.

Panoramic Coronary Angiography
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1998 We describe a new imaging technique for coronary angiography.The conventional approach to coronary angiography exploits static perspective imaging over multiple cardiac cycles, using a limited number of empirically selected views. This approach entails both lack and redundancy of information and may result in suboptimal visualization of the individual ...

Coronary CT Angiography as an Alternative to Invasive Coronary Angiography [PDF]
, 2011 X-ray computed tomography (CT) was first invented in 1972 and its ability to obtain cross sectional images has proven to be a major advance in the field of medicine, garnering the Nobel Prize in medicine for Sir Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield and Allan McLeod Cormack in 1979.

Coronary occlusion during coronary angiography [PDF]
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1975 Between January 1, 1970, and December 31, 1974, 2981 patients underwent coronary arteriography. Twelve acute coronary dissections or embolizations occurred, an incidence of 0.4%. The incidences of acute occlusions for the Sones and Judkins techniques were 0.19% (4/2077 studies) and 0.88% (8/940), respectively.

Cor et Vasa, 2015 AbstractCoronary CT angiography (coronary CTA) represents an increasingly applied noninvasive method for coronary artery imaging. Due to technical development and improved spatial and temporal resolution of CT, high diagnostic value of coronary CTA is reported when compared to conventional selective angiography.

Coronary CT angiography in the elderly [PDF]
Netherlands Heart Journal, 2013 People over 75 years of age represent a specific group of patients for which the clinician is often in doubt about what to do, whether additional diagnostic workup is helpful or a primary medical approach would suffice. However, this patient population is less prone to the long-term effects of radiation burden or contrast medium-induced nephropathy ...

Postmortem coronary CT angiography [PDF]
Intensive Care Medicine, 2016 In the past few decades, the medical autopsy rate has markedly decreased owing to several factors such as the family’s refusal to provide consent, complexity of a time-consuming procedure, and fear of litigation in case of a missed diagnosis. On the other hand, CT and MR scans have increased the accuracy of diagnostic procedures and reduced the need ...

Non-invasive computed tomography coronary angiography as a gatekeeper for invasive coronary angiography [PDF]
The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2012 To determine the rate of subsequent invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and revascularization in relation to computed tomography coronary angiography (CTA) results. In addition, independent determinants of subsequent ICA and revascularization were evaluated. CTA studies were performed using a 64-row (n = 413) or 320-row (n = 224) multidetector scanner.

Coronary angiography enhancement for visualization [PDF]
The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2009 High quality visualization on X-ray angiograms is of great significance both for the diagnosis of vessel abnormalities and for coronary interventions. Algorithms for improving the visualization of detailed vascular structures without significantly increasing image noise are currently demanded in the market.
