Assessing the value of coronary artery computed tomography as the first-line anatomical test for stable patients with indications for invasive angiography due to suspected coronary artery disease. Economic outcomes of the CAT-CAD randomized trial

Clinical and safety outcomes of the strategy employing coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) as the first-choice imaging test in this population have been recently shown in the published CAT-CAD randomized, prospective, single-center study. Based on prospectively collected data we aimed to evaluate economic outcomes and cost-effectiveness of such innovative approach.
