Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) applications have expanded to evaluation of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and viability. We quantified regional MBF pre- and post-coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using adenosine stress and cardiac 64-MDCT, and investigated whether the results predict MBF and left ventricular (LV) function recovery after CABG.
We studied 321 regions in 19 CABG patients who underwent adenosine stress 64-row MDCT perfusion imaging and cine magnetic resonance imaging pre- and post-CABG. Myocardial blood flow was estimated from linear regression equation slopes using Patlak plot analyses and compared with LV function by measuring wall thickening (%WT) using cine magnetic resonance imaging.
Overall mean MBFs were 1.39 +/- 0.49 and 1.95 +/- 0.49 mL/(g min) pre- and post-CABG (P < .0001). Myocardial blood flow in revascularized areas increased significantly (pre-CABG 1.18 +/- 0.45, post-CABG 1.99 +/- 0.66 mL/[g min], P < .001), whereas nonischemic areas showed no difference (1.79 +/- 0.70 and 1.97 +/- 0.46 mL/[g min], P = .14). Revascularized areas with preoperative MBF > or = 0.9 mL/(g min) showed significantly greater MBF improvement than those with preoperative MBF <0.9 mL/(g min) (P = .04). In patients with preoperative LV dysfunction (ejection fraction <40%), %WT in revascularized areas with pre-CABG MBF > or = 0.9 mL/(g min) improved significantly after CABG (pre-%WT 40.9 +/- 22.9, post-%WT 52.8 +/- 20.6, P = .03) versus those with pre-CABG MBF <0.9 mL/(g min) (pre-%WT 53.2 +/- 35.5, post-%WT 42.5 +/- 17.0, P = .40).
Our results demonstrated more significantly increased MBF post-CABG than pre-CABG, particularly in revascularized areas. Regional MBF before CABG may predict MBF and LV function recovery, in the short term, after CABG.
多排螺旋 CT(MDCT)的应用已经扩展到心肌血流(MBF)和存活能力的评估。我们使用腺苷应激和心脏 64-MDCT 对冠状动脉旁路移植术(CABG)前后的局部 MBF 进行定量,并研究结果是否可以预测 CABG 后 MBF 和左心室(LV)功能的恢复。
我们研究了 19 名 CABG 患者的 321 个区域,这些患者在 CABG 前后接受了腺苷应激 64 排 MDCT 灌注成像和电影磁共振成像。使用 Patlak 图分析从线性回归方程斜率估计心肌血流,并通过测量电影磁共振成像中的壁增厚(%WT)来测量 LV 功能。
总体平均 MBF 在 CABG 前后分别为 1.39 ± 0.49 和 1.95 ± 0.49 mL/(g min)(P <.0001)。再血管化区域的心肌血流显著增加(CABG 前 1.18 ± 0.45,CABG 后 1.99 ± 0.66 mL/(g min),P <.001),而非缺血区域无差异(1.79 ± 0.70 和 1.97 ± 0.46 mL/(g min),P =.14)。术前 MBF >或= 0.9 mL/(g min)的再血管化区域的 MBF 改善明显大于术前 MBF <0.9 mL/(g min)的区域(P =.04)。在术前 LV 功能障碍(射血分数<40%)的患者中,CABG 后再血管化区域的 CABG 前 MBF >或= 0.9 mL/(g min)的 %WT 明显改善(CABG 前 %WT 40.9 ± 22.9,CABG 后 %WT 52.8 ± 20.6,P =.03),而 CABG 前 MBF <0.9 mL/(g min)的患者(CABG 前 %WT 53.2 ± 35.5,CABG 后 %WT 42.5 ± 17.0,P =.40)。
我们的结果表明,CABG 后 MBF 比 CABG 前显著增加,尤其是在再血管化区域。CABG 前的局部 MBF 可能预测 CABG 后短期内 MBF 和 LV 功能的恢复。
