Application of 64-slice spiral coronary CT angiography in diagnosis of restenosis in patients with coronary heart disease after stenting

Journal Title: Di-er Junyi Daxue Xuebao - Year 2008, Vol 29, Issue 11

Abstract

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of 64-slice spiral coronary CT angiography (CTA) in diagnosis of in-stent restenosis (ISR)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) in patients with coronary artery disease.Methods: CTA was used to reconstruct and analyze the 345 segments (each stent was divided into three segments: proximal,middle and distal) of 115 stents in 60 patients with coronary heart disease after PCI.The results of selective coronary angiography (SCA) were taken as the golden standard to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of CTA in diagnosis of ISR after PCI.Results: CTA clearly showed the location and length of the stents,the stenosis at stent and the characteristics of restenosis plaques.Thirty-nine in-stent restenosis lesions were found by CTA,including 8 calcified lesions and 31 non-calcified lesions.There were 25 lesions at the proximal end of the stent,7 at the middle and 7 at the distal end.Forty-two lesions were found by CTA,including 9 calcified lesions and 33 non-calcified lesions,with 26 at the proximal end,8 at the middle and 8 at the distal end.CTA correctly diagnosed 36 segments,missed 6,and misdiagnosed 3.The sensitivity,specificity,PPV,NPV and accuracy of CTA were 85.71%,99.01%,92.31%,98.04% and 97.39%, respectively.CTA had the highest sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of the proximal ISR,being 96.15% and 100%,respectively.Proximal stent restenosis accounted for 64.10% of the total.Conclusion: CTA can clearly demonstrate the in-stent restenosis and has a high accuracy in diagnosing restenosis after PCI.CTA is a safe,simple and reliable noninvasive diagnostic method for diagnosis of in-stent restenosis after PCI.
