To compare the accuracy of non-electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated CT angiography (CTA), single-diastolic-phase ECG-gated CTA, and full-phase ECG-gated CTA in detecting the intimal tear (IT) in aortic dissection (AD) and ulcer-like projection (ULP) in intramural hematoma (IMH).
A total of 81 consecutive patients with AD and IMH of the thoracic aorta were included in this single-center retrospective study. Non-ECG-gated CTA, single-diastolic-phase ECG-gated CTA, and full-phase ECG-gated CTA were used to detect the presence of the IT and ULP in thoracic aortic regions including the ascending aorta, aortic arch, and proximal and distal descending aorta.
The accuracy of detecting the IT and ULP was significantly greater using full-phase ECG-gated CTA (88% [95% CI: 100%, 75%]) than non-ECG-gated CTA (72% [95% CI: 90%, 54%], P = 0.001) and single-diastolic-phase ECG-gated CTA (76% [95% CI: 93%, 60%], P = 0.008).
Full-phase ECG-gated CTA is more accurate in detecting the IT in AD and ULP in IMH, than non-ECG-gated CTA and single-diastolic-phase ECG-gated CTA.
比较非心电图门控 CT 血管造影(CTA)、单舒张期心电图门控 CTA 和全相位心电图门控 CTA 在检测主动脉夹层(AD)内膜撕裂(IT)和壁内血肿(IMH)中溃疡样突起(ULP)的准确性。
本单中心回顾性研究共纳入 81 例连续的胸主动脉 AD 和 IMH 患者。非心电图门控 CTA、单舒张期心电图门控 CTA 和全相位心电图门控 CTA 用于检测升主动脉、主动脉弓和近段及远段降主动脉等胸主动脉区域 IT 和 ULP 的存在。
全相位心电图门控 CTA 检测 IT 和 ULP 的准确性明显高于非心电图门控 CTA(88% [95%CI:100%,75%])和单舒张期心电图门控 CTA(76% [95%CI:93%,60%],P = 0.001)。
全相位心电图门控 CTA 检测 AD 的 IT 和 IMH 的 ULP 比非心电图门控 CTA 和单舒张期心电图门控 CTA 更准确。
