PURPOSE
Assess and compare the quality and diagnostic performance of CCTA between pre-liver and pre-kidney transplant patients, and gauge impact of CCTA on ICA requirements.
METHODS
Patients without known coronary artery disease (CAD) were selected for CCTA if considered high-risk or after abnormal stress testing. All pre-liver and pre-kidney CCTAs between March 2018 and August 2020 were retrospectively included. CCTA quality was qualitatively graded as excellent/good/fair/poor, and CAD graded as < or ≥50% stenosis. Heart rate, coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores, and fractional flow reserve CT (FFR) results were collected. CAD stenosis was graded on invasive coronary angiogram (ICA) images, with ≥50% stenosis defined as significant.
RESULTS
162 pre-transplant patients (91 pre-liver, 71 pre-kidney). Pre-kidney patients had poorer CCTA quality (p = 0.04) and higher heart rate (median: 65 bpm vs 60 bpm, p < 0.001). Out of 147 diagnostic CCTAs (pre-liver: 84, pre-kidney: 63), 73 (49.7%) had a ≥50% stenosis (pre-liver: 38 (45.2%), pre-kidney:35 (55.6%)). 12/38 (31.6%) had a significantly reduced FFR, and 19/53 (35.8%) had ≥50% stenosis on ICA. Among patients whose CCTA was diagnostic and had ICA, stenosis severity was concordant in 10/23 (43.5%) pre-liver and 10/25 (40%) pre-kidney patients. All discordant cases had stenosis 'over-called' on CCTA.
CONCLUSION
Diagnostic-quality CCTAs in high-risk pre-transplant patients are achievable and can greatly reduce ICA requirements by excluding significant CAD. CCTA quality is poorer in pre-kidney transplant patients compared to pre-liver, possibly due to higher heart rate.
目的
评估和比较肝前和肾前移植患者 CCTA 的质量和诊断性能，并评估 CCTA 对 ICA 要求的影响。
方法
如果认为高风险或应激试验异常，则选择无已知冠状动脉疾病 (CAD) 的患者进行 CCTA。回顾性纳入 2018 年 3 月至 2020 年 8 月期间所有肝前和肾前 CCTA。CCTA 质量定性分级为优秀/良好/一般/差，CAD 分级为<或≥50%狭窄。收集心率、冠状动脉钙 (CAC) 评分和血流储备分数 CT (FFR) 结果。在侵入性冠状动脉造影 (ICA) 图像上对 CAD 狭窄程度进行分级，以≥50%狭窄定义为显著。
结果
共纳入 162 例移植前患者（肝前 91 例，肾前 71 例）。肾前患者的 CCTA 质量较差（p=0.04），心率较高（中位数：65bpm 比 60bpm，p<0.001）。在 147 例诊断性 CCTA 中（肝前：84 例，肾前：63 例），73 例（49.7%）有≥50%狭窄（肝前：38 例[45.2%]，肾前：35 例[55.6%]）。12/38 例（31.6%）有明显降低的 FFR，19/53 例（35.8%）有 ICA 上≥50%狭窄。在 CCTA 诊断且有 ICA 的患者中，23 例肝前患者中有 10 例（43.5%）和 25 例肾前患者中有 10 例（40%）狭窄严重程度一致。所有不一致的病例 CCTA 均存在狭窄程度“高估”。
结论
在高危移植前患者中，可获得诊断质量的 CCTA，并通过排除严重 CAD 大量减少 ICA 要求。与肝前移植患者相比，肾前移植患者的 CCTA 质量较差，可能是由于心率较高。
