Determination of optimal fluoroscopic angulations for aorto-coronary ostial interventions from coronary computed tomography angiography
An optimal aorto-coronary angiographic projection, characterized by an orthogonal visualization of the proximal coronary artery, is crucial for interventional success. We determined the distribution of optimal C-arm positions and assessed their feasibility by invasive coronary angiography.
