Background |
Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) provides detailed assessment of valve annulus and iliofemoral vessels in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patients. However, data on diagnostic performance of MDCT coronary angiography (MDCT-CA) are scarce. The aim of the study is to assess diagnostic performance of MDCT for coronary artery evaluation before TAVR.
Methods |
A total of 325 consecutive patients (234 without previous myocardial revascularization, 49 with previous coronary stenting, and 42 with previous coronary artery bypass graft [CABG]) underwent invasive coronary angiography and MDCT before TAVR. MDCT-CA was performed using the same data set dedicated to standard MDCT aortic annulus evaluation. Multidetector computed tomography-CA evaluability and diagnostic accuracy in comparison with invasive coronary angiography as criterion standard were assessed.
Results |
The MDCT-CA evaluability of native coronaries was 95.6%. The leading cause of unevaluability was beam-hardening artifact due to coronary calcifications. In a segment-based analysis, MDCT-CA showed sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy for detecting ≥50% stenosis of 91%, 99.2%, 83.4%, 99.6% and 98.8%, respectively. The MDCT-CA evaluability of coronary stents was 82.1%. In a segment-based analysis, MDCT-CA showed sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy for detecting ≥50% in-stent restenosis of 94.1%, 86.7%, 66.7%, 98.1%, and 88.3%, respectively. All CABGs were correctly assessed by MDCT-CA. In a patient-based analysis, MDCT-CA showed sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy of 89.7%, 90.8%, 80.6%, 95.4%, and 90.5%, respectively.
Conclusions |
Multidetector computed tomography–CA allows to correctly rule out the presence of significant native coronary artery stenosis, significant in-stent restenosis, and CABG disease in patients referred for TAVR.
