Predictors Of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Derived From Coronary Ct Angiography In Patients With Chronic Coronary Syndromes
Introduction: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) provides detailed information on coronary plaques that could be helpful in selecting patients amenable for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed to identify anatomical (e.g. lesion location and stenosis severity) and morphological plaque features predictors of PCI and create a multiparametric score to further increase the predictive yield. Moreover, we assessed the incremental predictive value of FFRCT (Fractional Flow Reserve derived from CCTA) trans-lesion gradient (DFFRCT) when integrated in the score.

Miss
Introduction: Studies have shown that the longer the occlusion duration of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO), the more difficult the percutaneous coronary intervention of CTO.The inflammatory response around the lesion varies with the occlusion duration of CTO. The pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) can reflect pericoronary inflammation, but its association with CTO lesions is unclear. The study aims to investigate the association of the FAI with the characteristics of CTO lesions. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography)

CCTA Characteristics And Their Association With Complications After PCIs For LAD-Diagonal Bifurcation Lesions: A Case Series
Introduction: Coronary artery bifurcation lesions are encountered in approximately 20% of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). They have a high incidence of procedural complications such as side branch occlusions which can cause myocardial infarctions or death. The RESOLVE score uses six plaque characteristics to risk stratify bifurcation lesions and is depicted in Table 1. A RESOLVE score greater than ten is associated with a higher rate of side branch occlusions. The V-RESOLVE Score, where the same characteristics (except for TIMI Flow) are estimated by coronary CT angiography (CCTA), has been shown to be just as ...

Photon-counting Detector Ct Improves Clinical Efficiency As Compared To Whole Heart Coverage Energy-integrating Detector Ct
Introduction: We sought to compare photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) versus whole heart coverage energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT) in determining the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). Furthermore, we aimed to assess the rate of downstream invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in patients who underwent PCD-CT versus EID-CT. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography)

Minimum Quantifiable Plaque Volume That Is Visually Detectable As Atherosclerosis Using Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography
Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI)-based software has enabled automated detection and quantification of stenosis severity, plaque burden and plaque composition from coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA). Studies have shown that more coronary artery segments are identified as containing plaque using AI-based techniques compared to visual assessment. However, the minimum detectable plaque volume at which a coronary artery is considered abnormal by a human observer has not been defined. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography)

Fully- Automated Feature Selection Of 4D-CT Strain Output Data For Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy Prediction In Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis
Introduction: Coexistence of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) candidates with sever aortic stenosis is not uncommon. The gold-standard to diagnose ATTR-CM is represented by noninvasive bone-scintigraphy or invasive endomyocardial biopsy. Diagnosing ATTR-CM in this clinical setting without additional testing would be needed. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether ATTR-CM may be diagnosed by automated feature selection from TAVI- Computed tomography (CT) output data.

Quantification Of Extracellular Volume With Cardiac Computed Tomography In Patients With Left Ventricle Dysfunction
Introduction: Myocardial fi brosis (MF) is a common endpoint in the majority of pathological mechanisms affecting cardiac muscle, ultimately resulting in cardiac failure. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with gadolinium-based contrast agent and T1 mapping technique is able to deliver a non-invasive quantification of the extracellular volume (ECV) expansion. Recently, ECV estimation with cardiac computed tomography (ECV-CCT)has been validated in the setting of cardiac amyloidosis, showing good agreement with ECV-CMR.
