Prognostic Value of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in Patients with Prior Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

501 PCI patients who underwent CCTA were followed for a mean of 59.5 months. 52 patients (10.4%) experienced MACE. CAD severity was a predictor of MACE with 0, 1, 2, and 3 vessel disease having annual rates of 1.3%, 2.2%, 2.2%, and 5.3%, respectively. In PCI patients, CAD severity as measured with CCTA has independent and incremental prognostic value.
