OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for the evaluation of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients referred for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). METHODS: EMBASE, PubMed/MEDLINE, and CENTRAL were searched for studies reporting accuracy of CCTA for the evaluation of obstructive CAD compared with invasive coronary angiography (ICA) as the reference standard. QUADAS-2 tool was used to assess the risk of bias. A bivariate random effects model was used to analyze, pool, and plot the diagnostic performance measurements across studies. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive ( + LR) and negative (-LR) likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and hierarchical summary ROC curve (HSROC) were evaluated. Prospero registration number: CRD42021252527. RESULTS: Fourteen studies (2533 patients) were included. In the intention-to-diagnose patient-level analysis, sensitivity and specificity for CCTA were 97% (95% CI: 94-98%) and 68% (95% CI: 56-68%), respectively, and + LR and -LR were 3.0 (95% CI: 2.1-4.3) and 0.05 (95% CI: 0.03 - 0.09), with DOR equal to 60 (95% CI: 30-121). The area under the HSROC curve was 0.96 (95% CI: 0.94-0.98). No significant difference in sensitivity was found between single-heartbeat and other CT scanners (96% (95% CI: 90 - 99%) vs. 97% (95% CI: 94-98%) respectively; p = 0.37), whereas the specificity of single-heartbeat scanners was higher (82% (95% CI: 66-92%) vs. 60% (95% CI: 46 - 72%) respectively; p < 0.0001). Routine CCTA in the pre-TAVI workup could save 41% (95% CI: 34 - 47%) of ICAs if a disease prevalence of 40% is assumed. CONCLUSIONS: CCTA proved an excellent diagnostic accuracy for assessing obstructive CAD in patients referred for TAVI; the use of single-heartbeat CT scanners can further improve these findings. KEY POINTS: • CCTA proved to have an excellent diagnostic accuracy for assessing obstructive CAD in patients referred for TAVI. • Routine CCTA in the pre-TAVI workup could save more than 40% of ICAs. • Single-heartbeat CT scanners had higher specificity than others in the assessment of obstructive CAD in patients referred for TAVI.
目的:评估冠状动脉计算机断层扫描血管造影术(CCTA)在经导管主动脉瓣植入术(TAVI)患者中评估阻塞性冠状动脉疾病(CAD)的诊断准确性。
方法:检索 EMBASE、PubMed/MEDLINE 和 CENTRAL 以获取报告 CCTA 评估与有创冠状动脉造影(ICA)相比阻塞性 CAD 准确性的研究。使用 QUADAS-2 工具评估偏倚风险。使用双变量随机效应模型分析、汇总和绘制 across studies 的诊断性能测量值。评估汇总敏感性、特异性、阳性(+LR)和阴性(-LR)似然比、诊断优势比(DOR)和分层汇总受试者工作特征(HSROC)曲线。Prospéro 注册号:CRD42021252527。
结果:共纳入 14 项研究(2533 名患者)。在意图诊断的患者水平分析中,CCTA 的敏感性和特异性分别为 97%(95%CI:94-98%)和 68%(95%CI:56-68%),+LR 和 -LR 分别为 3.0(95%CI:2.1-4.3)和 0.05(95%CI:0.03-0.09),DOR 等于 60(95%CI:30-121)。HSROC 曲线下面积为 0.96(95%CI:0.94-0.98)。单心动周期和其他 CT 扫描仪之间的敏感性无显著差异(96%(95%CI:90-99%)与 97%(95%CI:94-98%);p=0.37),而单心动周期扫描仪的特异性更高(82%(95%CI:66-92%)与 60%(95%CI:46-72%);p<0.0001)。如果假设疾病患病率为 40%,TAVI 术前常规 CCTA 可节省 41%(95%CI:34-47%)的 ICA。
结论:CCTA 证明在评估 TAVI 患者的阻塞性 CAD 方面具有出色的诊断准确性;使用单心动周期 CT 扫描仪可以进一步提高这些发现。
