Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography: Beyond Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease

Life, 2023
Nowadays, coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has a role of paramount importance in the diagnostic algorithm of ischemic heart disease (IHD), both in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute chest pain.

Coronary artery fistulas morphology in coronary computed tomography angiography

Folia Morphologica, 2020
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to evaluate coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) in coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) and verify whether there is correlation between the fistula’s morphology and other cardiac functional findings and

Coronary computed tomography–angiography for traumatic coronary artery transection

Acute Medicine & Surgery
Background Penetrating thoracic trauma with coronary artery transection is a lethal injury, but is rare. We report a case of a cardiac stab wound with coronary artery transection that was successfully treated after preoperative diagnosis.

Coronary computed tomography angiography in children [PDF]

Pediatric Radiology, 2021
Imaging the coronary arteries of children, with their faster heart rates, small vessel size and common inability to lie still or breath-hold, has been a major challenge. With numerous advances in technology, CT examinations can now be performed quickly, often with children free-breathing and with much lower radiation doses than previously. This has led

Can Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Replace Invasive Angiography? [PDF]

Circulation, 2015
One million patients undergo invasive coronary angiography (CA) in the United States every year.1 In view of its invasive nature and related costs, noninvasive imaging of coronary imaging has the theoretical appeal to improve comfort for patients, reduce cost, and refine patient selection to limit invasive procedures to patients requiring treatment for

Coronary computed tomography angiography [PDF]

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2015
Contrast medium is injected intravenously, and multidetector technology is used to take an image of the heart during a single breath hold (acquisition time ~8 s for 64 detectors). Blockade is recommended for patients with heart rates faster than 65 beats/min to improve image quality and to ...

Coronary computed tomography angiography

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2011
Significant limitations exist for traditional noninvasive cardiac imaging with regard to equivocal or indeterminate findings that result in repetitive testing or unnecessary referral to invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Recent hardware and software advances in multislice computed tomography angiography have achieved high spatial and temporal ...

Individual patient data meta-analysis for the clinical assessment of coronary computed tomography angiography: protocol of the Collaborative Meta-Analysis of Cardiac CT (CoMe-CCT)

Systematic Reviews, 2013
Background Coronary computed tomography angiography has become the foremost noninvasive imaging modality of the coronary arteries and is used as an alternative to the reference standard, conventional coronary angiography, for direct visualization and ...

Tachycardia during Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography [PDF]

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2011
A 76-year-old woman underwent a coronary artery computed tomography angiography (CTA) to exclude coronary occlusive disease after a segmental inferoseptal hypokinesia was discovered at echocardiography in the workup for atypical chest pain. The patient has a body mass index of 40 kg/m2, a history of arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hypothyroidism,
