We evaluated Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) of four different self-expandable stents in phantom model. Three stents ware made of nitinol and one was made of cobaltbased alloy. Each stent placed in plastic injector, filled with diluted iodinated contrast material, and placed on a plastic case filled with saline. CTA was performed on a four-detector CT scanner (detector collimation, 0.5mm: helical pitch 3.5). Axial and longitudinal reconstructions of CT imaging were compared with the instent attenuation. Three nitinol stents showed few artifact, and cobalt-based alloy stent was appeared artificial narrowing. In conclusion, CTA is useful for follow-up examination after carotid artery stenting (CAS) as a less invasive evaluation method.
我们在体模模型中评估了四种不同的自膨式支架的计算机断层血管造影(CTA)。三种支架由镍钛诺制成,一种由钴基合金制成。每个支架放置在装有稀释碘化造影剂的塑料注射器中,并放置在装满盐水的塑料盒上。在四排探测器CT扫描仪(探测器准直,0.5mm:螺旋 pitch 3.5)上进行CTA。将CT成像的轴向和纵向重建与支架内衰减进行比较。三种镍钛诺支架显示出很少的伪影,而钴基合金支架出现了人为狭窄。总之,CTA作为一种侵入性较小的评估方法,对于颈动脉支架置入术(CAS)后的随访检查很有用。
