To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 320-slice CT coronary angiography (CTA) in the evaluation of in-stent restenosis (ISR, ≥50% luminal narrowing) in comparison with quantitative coronary angiography (CAG).
A total of 69 patients with previous stent implantation who underwent both CTA and CAG were prospectively included. We assessed diagnostic valve for ISR with CTA in comparison with CAG.
A total of 110 stents were implanted in these patients.CAG identified 14 ISR. CTA correctly identified 13 ISR and misdiagnosed 5 ISR in stents without ISR. Besides, 6 stents could not be evaluated by CTA due to unsatisfied image quality. Accordingly, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of CTA for diagnosing ISR were 93%, 89%, 54% and 99%, respectively. The image quality of CTA was significantly better in larger stents (percentages of good and moderate stent image of ≥3.0 mm and <3.0 mm: 56% vs. 27%, 25% vs. 49%) and which was linked with better diagnostic coincidence rate (95% vs. 78%) for larger stents. The image quality of CTA was significantly better in stents with thinner stent strut thickness (percentages of poor CTA stent image quality of stent strut thickness<140 µm and ≥140 µm: 12% vs. 45%, P<0.01) and which was associated with better diagnostic coincidence rate for stents with thinner stent strut thickness (94% vs. 76%, P<0.05). The image quality of CTA was also significantly better in single stent (percentages of poor CTA stent image quality of single stent vs. overlap and dedicated stent: 17% vs. 36%, P<0.05). However, heart rate (≥65 beats/min vs. <65 beats/min) during CTA acquisition was not associated with image quality and the diagnostic coincidence rate (all P>0.05).
Our results indicate that 320-slice CTA allows accurate noninvasive assessment of significant in-stent restenosis in selected patients. Stents with a large diameter and thin struts are associated with better image quality and higher diagnostic accuracy.
与定量冠状动脉造影(CAG)相比,评估320层CT冠状动脉造影(CTA)对支架内再狭窄(ISR,管腔狭窄≥50%)的诊断准确性。
前瞻性纳入69例曾接受支架植入且同时接受CTA和CAG检查的患者。我们将CTA对ISR的诊断效能与CAG进行比较。
这些患者共植入110枚支架。CAG识别出14例ISR。CTA正确识别出13例ISR,误诊了5例无ISR的支架。此外,由于图像质量不佳,6枚支架无法通过CTA评估。因此,CTA诊断ISR的敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值和阴性预测值分别为93%、89%、54%和99%。较大支架的CTA图像质量明显更好(直径≥3.0 mm和<3.0 mm的支架图像质量良好和中等的百分比:56%对27%,25%对49%),且较大支架的诊断符合率更高(95%对78%)。支架支柱厚度较薄的支架,其CTA图像质量明显更好(支架支柱厚度<140 µm和≥140 µm的CTA支架图像质量差的百分比:12%对45%,P<0.01),且支架支柱厚度较薄的支架诊断符合率更高(94%对76%,P<0.05)。单枚支架的CTA图像质量也明显更好(单枚支架与重叠和专用支架的CTA支架图像质量差的百分比:17%对36%,P<0.05)。然而,CTA采集期间的心率(≥65次/分钟与<65次/分钟)与图像质量和诊断符合率均无关(所有P>0.05)。
我们的结果表明,320层CTA能够对部分患者的显著支架内再狭窄进行准确的无创评估。直径大且支柱薄的支架与更好的图像质量和更高的诊断准确性相关。
