Background summary
Cardiac catheterization with invasive coronary angiography has been, and continues to be the gold standard for determining the presence or absence of significant coronary luminal stenosis. However, due to the inherent risks involved with this invasive procedure (such as stroke, myocardial infarction, death or need for emergency surgical intervention; major complication rate of 1-2%), and high cost, non-invasive assessments of coronary artery disease are usually preferred. Currently available functional methods of assessment, such as stress echocardiography and nuclear stress testing are limited in their inability to provide direct anatomic information with limited sensitivity and specificity for CAD.
Advances in computed tomography, and specifically Multi-Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) have provided the ability to image the coronary artery anatomy non-invasively. Early studies comparing MDCT (4-slice technology) and invasive coronary angiography were limited by highly selected populations, small sample size, high percentage of non-assessable segments, and widely variable sensitivity and specificity results. However, recent advances in spatial and temporal resolution have greatly improved the image quality provided by MDCT. Further techniques of ECG-gating, increased detector rows, and segmented reconstruction have continued to improve the potential diagnostic capability of this technology. The newest generation MDCT (32-64 detector rows) scanners are able to provide 0.5mm slice thickness with spatial resolution ranging from 0.35-0.5mm. Thus, the purpose of this study is to compare the diagnostic utility of MDCTA compared with conventional coronary angiography for the diagnosis of clinically significant coronary artery disease.
Study objective
The sensitivity and specificity of MDCTA for identifying coronary artery stenosis ¡Ý 50% in a patient with suspected coronary artery disease, is of equal quality compared with conventional coronary angiography.
