Coronary CT Angiography (CTA) is increasingly being used to plan percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), offering detailed pre-procedural anatomical and physiological insights. The Precise Procedural and PCI Plan (P4) study evaluates the efficacy of CT- versus intravascular ultrasound-guided PCI. The aim of this study was to assess the utility of various CT-guided PCI tools and strategies as perceived by experienced operators within the context of the P4 study.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 25 operators who participate in the P4 trial from multiple international centers. Participants were asked to evaluate the utility of pre-procedural CTA planning, physiological information with virtual PCI, and online guidance. The survey included multiple-choice, Likert scale, and ranking questions.
Most respondents valued pre-procedural planning highly (average score 2.83/3), particularly for the assessment of plaque composition and calcium characterization. Plaque composition evaluation, including calcium analysis, was ranked as the most valued factor, with an average usefulness score of 6.13/7. Calcium arc information was rated as the most useful component of calcium analysis (4/5 rating). The survey highlighted the importance of myocardial mass at risk assessment in bifurcation PCI and pointed to the anticipation of calcium density as a key future aspect of CT-guided PCI procedures.
The integration of CT-guided PCI promises to refine procedural planning and to pave the way for a new standard of care in patients with stable CAD.
冠状动脉CT血管造影(CTA)越来越多地用于规划经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI),可提供详细的术前解剖和生理信息。精准手术与PCI计划(P4)研究评估了CT引导与血管内超声引导PCI的疗效。本研究的目的是在P4研究的背景下,评估经验丰富的操作人员对各种CT引导PCI工具和策略的实用性看法。
对来自多个国际中心参与P4试验的25名操作人员进行了横断面调查。参与者被要求评估术前CTA规划、虚拟PCI的生理信息和在线指导的实用性。调查包括多项选择题、李克特量表和排序问题。
大多数受访者高度重视术前规划(平均得分2.83/3),特别是对于斑块成分评估和钙化特征分析。包括钙化分析在内的斑块成分评估被列为最有价值的因素,平均有用性得分为6.13/7。钙化弧信息被评为钙化分析中最有用的组成部分(评分4/5)。调查强调了在分叉病变PCI中评估心肌危险质量的重要性,并指出预测钙密度是CT引导PCI手术未来的一个关键方面。
CT引导PCI的整合有望优化手术规划,并为稳定型CAD患者的新护理标准铺平道路。
