Background |
To compare computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in quantitative and qualitative plaque assessment.
Methods |
Patients who underwent IVUS and CTCA within 3 months for suspected coronary artery disease were retrospectively studied. Plaque volumes on CTCA were quantified manually and with automated-software and were compared to IVUS. High-risk plaque features were compared between CTCA and IVUS.
Results |
There were 769 slices in 32 vessels (27 patients). Manual plaque quantification on CTCA was comparable to IVUS per slice (mean difference of 0.06±0.07, p=0.44; Bland-Altman 95% limits of agreement -2.19–2.08 mm3, bias of -0.06mm3) and per vessel (3.1mm3 ± -2.85mm3, p=0.92). In contrast, there was significant difference between automated-software and IVUS per slice (2.3±0.09mm3, p<0.001; 95% LoA -6.78 to 2.25mm3, bias of -2.2mm3) and per vessel (33.04±10.3 mm3, p<0.01).
The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of CTCA to detect plaques that had features of echo-attenuation on IVUS was 93.3%, 99.6%, 93.3% and 99.6% respectively. The association of ≥2 high-risk plaque features on CTCA with echo attenuation (EA) plaque features on IVUS was excellent (86.7%, 99.6%, 92.9% and 99.2%). In comparison, the association of high-risk plaque features on CTCA and plaques with echo-lucency on IVUS was only modest.
Conclusion |
Plaque volume quantification by manual CTCA method is accurate when compared to IVUS. The presence of at least two high-risk plaque features on CTCA is associated with plaque features of echo attenuation on IVUS.
