Diagnostic value of 64-slice CT angiography in coronary artery disease: a systematic review 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
PURPOSE: To perform a systematic review of the diagnostic value of 64-multislice CT (MSCT) angiography in the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) when compared to conventional coronary angiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A search of PUBMED and MEDLINE databases for English literature was performed. Only studies with at least 10 patients comparing 64-slice MSCT angiography with conventional coronary angiography in the detection of CAD were included. Diagnostic value of MSCT angiography compared to coronary angiography was compared and analysed at segment-, vessel- and patient-based assessment. RESULTS: Fifteen studies met selection criteria and were included for analysis. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value as well as 95% confidence interval (CI) were 97% (94 and 99%), 88% (79 and 97%), 94% (91 and 97%), and 95% (90 and 99%) for patient-based assessment; 92% (85 and 99%), 92% (85 and 99%), 78% (66 and 91%) and 98% (96 and 99%) for vessel-based assessment; 90% (85 and 94%), 96% (95 and 97%), 75%(68 and 82%) and 98% (98 and 99%) for segment-based assessment, respectively. No significant difference was found in the diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice CT in the detection of CAD when comparison was performed either among four main coronary arteries, or between proximal and middle or distal segments (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: Our results showed that 64-slice CT angiography has a high-diagnostic value in the detection of CAD. Severe coronary artery calcification seems to be the major factor affecting the visualisation and assessment. 相似文献

Purpose
The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice CT angiography for the detection of coronary in-stent restenosis in patients treated with coronary stents when compared to conventional coronary angiography.Materials and methods
A search of PUBMED/MEDLINE, ProQuest and Cochrane library databases for English literature was performed. Only studies comparing 64-slice CT angiography with conventional coronary angiography for the detection of coronary in-stent restenosis (more than 50% stenosis) were included for analysis. Sensitivity and specificity estimates pooled across studies were tested using a fixed effects model.Results
Fourteen studies met selection criteria for inclusion in the analysis. The mean value of assessable stents was 89%. Prevalence of in-stent restenosis following coronary stenting was 20% among these studies. Pooled estimates of the sensitivity and specificity of overall 64-slice CT angiography for the detection of coronary in-stent restenosis was 90% (95% CI: 86%, 94%) and 91% (95% CI: 90%, 93%), respectively, based on the evaluation of assessable stents. Diagnostic value of 64-slice CT angiography was found to decrease significantly when the analysis was performed with inclusion of nonassessable segments in five studies, with pooled sensitivity and specificity being 79% (95% CI: 68%, 88%) and 81% (95% CI: 77%, 84%). Stent diameter is the main factor affecting the diagnostic value of 64-slice CT angiography.Conclusion
Our results showed that 64-slice CT angiography has high diagnostic value (both sensitivity and specificity) for detection of coronary in-stent restenosis based on assessable segments when compared to conventional coronary angiography. 相似文献3.

A systematic search of the PubMed and Medline databases of English literature was performed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of multislice computed tomographic (CT; MSCT) angiography in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) compared with digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Studies comparing MSCT angiography with DSA in peripheral vascular disease were included, and the diagnostic value of MSCT angiography in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy was compared and analyzed. Ten studies (19 comparisons) met the criteria and were included for analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy rates were 92%, 91%, and 91%, respectively, at all arterial levels; 92%, 94%, and 93%, respectively, at aortoiliac arteries; 96%, 85%, and 92%, respectively, at femoropopliteal arteries; and 91%, 85%, and 87%, respectively, at infrapopliteal arteries. A significant difference was found in the sensitivity of MSCT angiography in PAD between four-slice CT and 16-slice CT, between aortoiliac and femoropopliteal arterial segments, and between femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal arterial segments (P<.05). This review demonstrates that MSCT angiography has a high diagnostic value and could be a reliable alternative to DSA in the diagnosis of PAD. 相似文献

Background Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is a relatively new noninvasive imaging modality in the evaluation of patients with
suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Whether diagnostic accuracy is influenced by gender or risk factors for CAD is currently
unknown and was evaluated in this study.
Methods and Results In 197 patients (171 men and 26 women; mean age, 60 ± 11 years) 16-slice MSCT was performed and compared with invasive coronary
angiography at 2 different centers (Leiden and Rotterdam, The Netherlands). Diagnostic accuracy for the detection of 50% luminal
narrowing or greater was calculated for all patients combined, as well as for patients with known versus suspected CAD. In
addition, diagnostic accuracy was determined in men versus women and in different subsets of patients based on the presence
of risk factors for CAD including hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, and obesity. Only segments
with a diameter of 2.0 mm or greater were evaluated, whereas smaller segments and stents were excluded from the analysis.
Overall, a sensitivity and specificity of 99% and 86%, respectively, on a patient level were demonstrated, with corresponding
positive and negative predictive values of 95% and 96%, respectively. Similar values were observed in the different subsets
of patients, with no statistical differences.
Conclusion These findings confirm the high diagnostic accuracy of MSCT, regardless of gender or risk factors.

Diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive 64-slice CT coronary angiography in patients with stable angina pectoris 总被引:21,自引:10,他引:11

Multislice computed tomography (CT) is an emerging technique for the non-invasive detection of coronary stenoses. While the
diagnostic accuracy of 4-slice scanners was limited, 16-slice CT imagers showed promising results due to increased temporal
and spatial resolution. These technical advances prompted us to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 64-slice CT coronary
angiography in the detection of significant stenoses (defined as ≥ 50% luminal diameter reduction) versus invasive quantitative
coronary angiography (QCA). Thirty-five patients with stable angina pectoris underwent CT coronary angiography performed with
a 64-slice scanner (gantry rotation time 330 ms, individual detector width 0.6 mm) prior to conventional coronary angiography.
Patients with heart rates >70 beats/min received 100 mg metoprolol orally. One hundred millilitres of contrast agent with
an iodine concentration of 400 mgl/ml were injected at a rate of 5 ml/s into the antecubital vein. The CT scan was triggered
with the bolus tracking technique. The sensitivity, specificity and the positive and negative predictive values of 64-slice
CT were 99%, 96%, 78% and 99%, respectively, on a per-segment basis. The values obtained on a per-patient basis were 100%,
90%, 96% and 100%, respectively. When referral to catheterisation is questionable, CT coronary angiography may identify subjects
with normal angiograms and consistently decrease the number of unnecessary invasive procedures. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To investigate prospectively the image quality and diagnostic accuracy of 40-slice computed tomography (CT) for the detection of hemodynamically significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in a non-selected, consecutive patient cohort. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty consecutive patients (28 men, 12 women) underwent both 40-slice CT and conventional invasive coronary angiography (ICA) within 10+/-7 days. The results of both methods were compared on a per-segment and per-patient basis, using ICA as the standard of reference. RESULTS: According to ICA, significant CAD was present in 30/40 patients (75%). Of a total of 545 segments, 43 segments (7.9%) could not be sufficiently evaluated by CT due to motion artifacts in 15 segments (34.9%), small vessel size and suboptimal contrast enhancement in 14 segments (32.6%), severe calcification in 10 segments (23.3%), and opacified adjacent structures such as cardiac veins in four segments (9.3%). Segment-based analysis for detection of significant stenosis >50% yielded an overall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of 87%, 99%, 98%, and 95%, respectively. Restricting the assessment to clinically relevant proximal coronary segments led to an increase in sensitivity to 96%, specificity to 99%, and negative predictive value to 99%. Patient-based analysis demonstrated a high negative predictive value (91%) of CT for excluding significant CAD, even when all segments were included in the analysis. CONCLUSION: In a non-selected patient population with a high prevalence of CAD, 40-slice CT demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy in the assessment of significant CAD per patient and per segment. 相似文献

We sought to investigate the performance of 64-slice CT in symptomatic patients with different coronary calcium scores. Two
hundred patients undergoing 64-slice CT coronary angiography for suspected coronary artery disease were enrolled into five
groups based on Agatston calcium score using the Mayo Clinic risk stratification: group 1: score 0, group 2: score 1–10, group
3: score 11–100, group 4: score 101–400, and group 5: score > 401. Diagnostic accuracy for the detection of significant (≥50%
lumen reduction) coronary artery stenosis was assessed on a per-segment and per-patient base using quantitative coronary angiography
as the gold standard. For groups 1 through 5, sensitivity was 97, 96, 91, 90, 92%, and specificity was 99, 98, 96, 88, 90%,
respectively, on a per-segment basis. On a per-patient basis, the best diagnostic performance was obtained in group 1 (sensitivity
100% and specificity 100%) and group 5 (sensitivity 95% and specificity 100%). Progressively higher coronary calcium levels
affect diagnostic accuracy of CT coronary angiography, decreasing sensitivity and specificity on a per-segment base. On a
per-patient base, the best results in terms of diagnostic accuracy were obtained in the populations with very low and very
high cardiovascular risk.

OBJECTIVES: Systematic review of diagnostic accuracy of contrast enhanced coronary computed tomography (CE-CCT). BACKGROUND: Noninvasive detection of coronary artery stenosis (CAS) by CE-CCT as an alternative to catheter-based coronary angiography (CCA) may improve patient management. METHODS: Forty-one articles published between 1997 and 2006 were included that evaluated native coronary arteries for significant stenosis and used CE-CCT as diagnostic test and CCA as reference standard. Study group characteristics, study methodology and diagnostic outcomes were extracted. Pooled summary sensitivity and specificity of CE-CCT were calculated using a random effects model (1) for all coronary segments, (2) assessable segments, and (3) per patient. RESULTS: The 41 studies totaled 2515 patients (75% males; mean age: 59 years, CAS prevalence: 59%). Analysis of all coronary segments yielded a sensitivity of 95% (80%, 89%, 86%, 98% for electron beam CT, 4/8-slice, 16-slice and 64-slice MDCT, respectively) for a specificity of 85% (77%, 84%, 95%, 91%). Analysis limited to segments deemed assessable by CT showed sensitivity of 96% (86%, 85%, 98%, 97%) for a specificity of 95% (90%, 96%, 96%, 96%). Per patient, sensitivity was 99% (90%, 97%, 99%, 98%) and specificity was 76% (59%, 81%, 83%, 92%). Heterogeneity was quantitatively important but not explainable by patient group characteristics or study methodology. CONCLUSIONS: Current diagnostic accuracy of CE-CCT is high. Advances in CT technology have resulted in increases in diagnostic accuracy and proportion of assessable coronary segments. However, per patient, accuracy may be lower and CT may have more limited clinical utility in populations at high risk for CAD. 相似文献

Background
Diagnostic approach to chest pain in women is challenging, but still under-investigated. The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of 64-slice multidetector coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) in women with chest pain.Methods and Results
We included 606 patients??255 women and 351 men (mean age 61?±?12?years for both)??who had been referred for a CCTA and an invasive coronary angiography (diagnostic standard) because of chest pain, either as part of clinical work-up in two urban medical centers or as part of the multicenter ACCURACY trial. On a patient-based model, the sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value to detect ??50% and ??70% stenosis were 98%, 84%, 87%, and 97% and 96%, 83%, 77%, and 97%, respectively, for women and 97%, 83%, 89%, and 95% and 94%, 91%, 90%, and 94%, respectively, for men. There were no statistically significant differences between men and women in diagnostic performance measures except for the PPV of detecting a ??70% stenosis (P?=?.007).Conclusion
In women with chest pain, 64-slice multidetector CCTA is at least as sensitive and specific as in men. Our findings suggest that CCTA is a promising diagnostic tool for timely detection and/or exclusion of CAD in symptomatic intermediate-risk female populations. 相似文献13.

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To compare the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) with special regard to calcifications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-seven patients with known CAD were examined with a targeted, navigator-gated, free-breathing, steady-state free precession MR angiography sequence (repetition time = 5.6 milliseconds, echo time = 2.8 milliseconds, flip angle 110 degrees ) and 16-slice coronary CT angiography. Segment-based sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for the detection of stenoses larger than 50% were determined as defined by the gold standard catheter coronary angiography along with the subjective image quality (Grade 1-4). The degree of calcifications in each segment was quantified using a standard calcium scoring tool. RESULTS: Of 115 possible segments, 7% had to be excluded in MR imaging because of poor image quality. In CT, 3% were nondiagnostic because of image quality and 15% were not evaluable because of calcifications. Values for the detection of relevant coronary artery stenoses in the evaluated segments were: sensitivity: MR imaging 85% versus CT 96%; specificity: 88% versus 96%; accuracy: 87% versus. 96%. Average subjective image quality was 1.8 for MR imaging and 1.6 for CT. Of the 15% of segments that had to be excluded from CT evaluation because of calcifications, MR imaging provided the correct diagnosis segments in 67%. CONCLUSIONS: CT provided a better image quality with superior accuracy for the detection of CAD. Despite its overall inferiority, MR imaging proved to be helpful method in interpreting coronary stenosis in severely calcified segments. 相似文献

BackgroundThe ADVANTAGE study demonstrated in a cohort of stented patients a diagnostic accuracy of stress myocardial CT perfusion (CTP) significantly higher than that of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for the detection of in-stent restenosis (ISR) or CAD progression vs. quantitative coronary angiography (QCA). This is a pre-defined subanalysis of the ADVANTAGE aimed at assessing the difference in terms of diagnostic accuracy vs. QCA of a subendocardial vs. a transmural perfusion defect using static stress CTP.MethodsWe enrolled consecutive patients who previously underwent coronary stenting and were referred for QCA. All patients underwent stress CTP and rest CTP + CCTA. The diagnostic accuracy of CCTA and CTP were evaluated in territory-based and patient-based analyses. We compared the diagnostic accuracy of “subendocardial” perfusion defect, defined as hypo-enhancement encompassing >25% but <50% of the transmural myocardial thickness within a specific coronary territory vs. “transmural” perfusion defect, defined as hypo-enhancement encompassing >50% of the transmural thickness.ResultsIn 150 patients (132 men, mean age 65.1 ± 9.1 years), the diagnostic accuracy of subendocardial vs. transmural perfusion defect in a vessel-based analysis was 93.5% vs. 87.7%, respectively (p < 0.0001). The sensitivity and specificity of subendocardial vs. transmural defect were 87.9% vs. 46.9% (p < 0.001) and 94.9% vs. 97.9% (p = 0.004), respectively. In a patient-based analysis, the diagnostic accuracy of the subendocardial vs. transmural approach was 86.6% vs. 68% (p < 0.0001).ConclusionsThis study shows that detection of a subendocardial perfusion defect as compared to a transmural defect is significantly more accurate to identify coronary territories with ISR or CAD progression. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of nitroglycerin on the diagnostic accuracy of electrocardiogram-gated coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. METHODS: Computed tomography angiography was performed on 76 patients using a 16-slice CT scanner. Forty-six patients received a sublingual nitroglycerin 1 minute before CT scanning (the NTG group), but the other 30 did not (the non-NTG group). No statistically significant differences were evident between these 2 groups in terms of clinical and demographic characteristics. Significant stenosis (> or =50% diameter reduction) as determined by CT was evaluated according to patient-based and segment-based analyses, and results were compared with conventional coronary angiographic findings. In addition, segments of the coronary artery were reclassified by segment luminal size into proximal, mid, and distal segments, and the diagnostic accuracies of the NTG and non-NTG approaches were evaluated in these segments. RESULTS: Differences in heart rate, and systolic and diastolic blood pressures before and after using nitroglycerin were 1.0 +/- 2.4 beats per minute, -8.3 +/- 14.4 mm Hg, and -4.6 +/- 10.6 mm Hg, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values in the NTG group were higher than in the non-NTG group by patient-based analysis (P = 0.25) and by segment-based analysis (P < 0.05). In addition, based on the luminal size of each segment, diagnostic accuracy in the NTG group was significantly higher for proximal segments than in the non-NTG group (96.7% vs 89.7%; P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The use of nitroglycerin was found to be safe and to improve the diagnostic accuracy of coronary CT angiography for the evaluation of coronary artery disease. 相似文献

Background Non-invasive assessment of subclinical atherosclerosis by means of coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) and multi-slice
computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography could improve patients’ risk stratification. However, data relating observations
on CACS and MSCT coronary angiography to traditional risk assessment are scarce.
Methods and Results In 314 consecutive outpatients (54 ± 13 years, 56% males) without known CAD, CACS and 64-slice MSCT coronary angiography were
performed. According to the Framingham risk score (FRS), 51% of patients were at low, 24% at intermediate and 25% at high
risk, respectively. MSCT angiograms showing atherosclerosis were classified as showing obstructive (≥50% luminal narrowing)
CAD or not. Both CACS and MSCT coronary angiography showed a high prevalence of normal coronary arteries in low FRS patients
(70% and 61%, respectively). An increase in the prevalence of CACS >400 (4% low vs 19% intermediate vs 36% high), CAD (39%
low vs 79% intermediate vs 91% high), and obstructive CAD (15% low vs 43% intermediate vs 58% high) was observed across the
FRS categories (P < .0001 for all comparisons).
Conclusions A strong positive relationship exists between FRS and the prevalence and extent of atherosclerosis. Especially in intermediate
FRS patients, CACS and MSCT coronary angiography provide useful information on the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis. 相似文献

The aim of this meta-analysis was to calculate the sensitivity of contrast-enhanced multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) compared with coronary angiography (CAG) in incident patients suspected of coronary artery disease (CAD). We searched PubMed, Embase, bibliographies of original papers and reviews to identify original papers including ≥20 patients. Two independent reviewers selected papers and judged eligible papers on quality. Heterogeneity was assessed and homogeneous subgroups were pooled. Of the 15 included studies, ten provided moderately homogeneous patient-based analyses with absolute diagnostic numbers (n=630 patients). Pooled sensitivity was 89% (95% confidence interval: 85–92%). Scanners with 16 detectors (n=4) had higher sensitivities (pooled sensitivity: 91%) than four-detector scanners (n=6; pooling not possible due to heterogeneity). Seven studies reported sensitivity for a proximal stenosis, but different definitions were used making pooling impossible; sensitivities ranged from 75 to 100%. The sensitivity of four- and 16-detector MDCT is not sufficient to rule out any stenosis in patients suspected of CAD. No conclusions can be drawn with respect to the sensitivity for clinically relevant or proximal stenoses. 相似文献
