Clinical value of coronary CT angiography stenosis score in quantitative assessment of ischemic-related lesions

Objective:To analyze the clinical value of coronary CT angiography(CCTA)stenosis score(CCTA-SS)in quantitative assessment of ischemic-related lesions.Methods:Patients with suspected coronary artery disease(CAD)diagnosed by CCTA,who represented single vessel lesion in left anterior descending(LAD)coronary artery,were included.All the patients underwent invasive coronary angiography(ICA)and fractional flow reserve(FFR)within one week after admission.The image features were analyzed and the value of CCTA-SS was calculated.Ischemic-related lesion was defined as the value of CCTA-SS≥70%.The accuracy of CCTA,ICA and CCTA-SS was evaluated in receiver operating characteristic(ROC)analysis,using FFR≤0.80 as a reference standard for diagnosing CAD.Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)was performed in patients with FFR≤0.80.And the patients were followed-up.Results:A total of 101 patients were included.There were 35 cases with the high-risk plaque,and 37 cases with FFR≤0.80.There was statistically significant difference in the early myocardial perfusion and the myocardial function between the anterior and the lateral wall(P<0.001).The diagnostic accuracy of CCTA,ICA,and CCTA-SS was 46.53%,66.34%,89.11%,respectively.The cutoff value was 60%,66%and 38%,respectively.And the sensitivity was 82.98%,91.04%,and 80.00%,respectively with specificity of 55.56%,82.35%,and 81.82%.The area under the curve(AUC)of CCTA-SS was bigger than that of CCTA(P<0.05).There was not statistically significant difference between CCTA-SS and ICA(P>0.05).PCI was performed in 37 cases,and there were 36 cases(97.30%)with CCTA-SS≥70%,which indicated ischemic-related lesions.Sixty-four patients received drug treatment,and among them 56 cases(87.50%)presented with CCTA-SS<70%,indicating non-ischemic-related lesions.Eight patients were hospitalized again,among whom 2 cases underwent PCI with CCTA-SS>70%.Six patients accepted drug treatment with CCTA-SS<70%.Conclusions:CCTA-SS could reflect the myocardial function of the blood supply area while judging the coronary artery anatomical stenosis,and significantly improve the ability of CCTA to evaluate coronary artery ischemia related lesions.
