CT Angiography for the Detection of Coronary Artery Stenoses in Patients Referred for Cardiac Valve Surgery: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Conclusions Coronary CTA using currently available technology is a reliable imaging alternative to invasive angiography with excellent sensitivity and negative LR for the detection of significant coronary stenoses in patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery. The specificity of coronary CTA may be decreased against the background of AS (Computed Tomography Angiography for the Detection of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients Referred for Cardiac Valve Surgery: A Meta-Analysis; CRD42015016213)
