CT angiography for coronary graft assessment [PDF]

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2018
We read with interest the article “CT angio for the evaluation of graft patency” by Di Lazzaro and Crusco (1) in the April 2017 issue of the Journal of Thoracic Disease. The authors describe technological advances of modern computed tomography (CT) systems as well as the high accuracy for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) assessment, making CT ...

Impaired Flow and Physiology in Coronaries With Anomalous Origin From the Opposite Sinus of Valsalva

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Anomalous Aortic Origin of a Coronary Artery (AAOCA) high‐risk anatomical features (intramural segment, acute take‐off angle, slit‐like ostium) cause coronary stenosis leading to myocardial infarction. How these features alter coronary physiology remains unclear.

Functionally relevant coronary artery disease: comparison of 64-section CT angiography with myocardial perfusion SPECT [PDF]

, 2008
PURPOSE: To prospectively determine the accuracy of 64-section computed tomographic (CT) angiography for the depiction of coronary artery disease (CAD) that induces perfusion defects at myocardial perfusion imaging with single photon emission computed ...

Computed Tomography Imaging in Aortic Dissection

Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine, 2019
Emergency physicians often rely on a “triple-rule-out” computed tomography (CT) where image acquisition is timed to obtain image quality equivalent to dedicated coronary CT angiography, pulmonary CT angiography, and thoracic aorta CT angiography.

Spatial Mismatch Between Angiographic Obstruction and Plaque Destabilization in Acute Coronary Syndromes: A Conceptual Narrative Review

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The identification of the “culprit lesion” in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) traditionally relies on coronary angiography, assuming that the most severe stenosis, abrupt occlusion, or largest filling defect marks the site of plaque destabilization.

Low adiponectin levels are an independent predictor of mixed and non-calcified coronary atherosclerotic plaques. [PDF]

, 2009
Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of coronary artery disease (CAD). There is increasing recognition that lesion composition rather than size determines the acute complications of atherosclerotic disease.

Intravascular Lithotripsy in Left Main Stem Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background IVL is increasingly used for coronary calcium modification; however, prospective data for its use in LMS lesions are lacking. Aims To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and mechanical efficacy of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) for calcium modification in calcified distal left main stem (LMS) percutaneous coronary intervention ...

Balloon‐Stopper Retrieval and Peripheral Parking After Inadvertent Ostial Right Coronary Stent Deployment

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Percutaneous treatment of right coronary artery (RCA) ostial lesions is technically challenging due to cardiorespiratory motion. Case Summary We describe a 70‐year‐old man undergoing PCI for an ostial RCA lesion where a forceful cough caused complete stent expansion within the aortic root.

64-slice computed tomography angiography in the diagnosis and assessment of coronary artery disease : systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2008
Objective To assess whether 64-slice computed tomography (CT) angiography might replace some coronary angiography (CA) for diagnosis and assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD).
