Assessment of endothelial shear stress in patients with mild or intermediate coronary stenoses using coronary computed tomography angiography: comparison with invasive coronary angiography

In conclusion, geometrical reconstruction by CTA yields similar results to ICA in terms of segment-based ESS calculation in patients with low and intermediate stenoses. Thus, it has the potential of allowing combined local hemodynamic and plaque morphologic information for risk stratification in patients with coronary artery disease.
