Cardiac CTA is also a useful alternative to invasive coronary angiography for pre-operative evaluation of persons undergoing non-coronary cardiac surgery or high-risk non-cardiac surgery, where invasive coronary angiography would otherwise be indicated. Einstein and colleagues (2007) ascertained the lifet...
When the ACQ severity is more than 50%, the visual method tends to overestimate the severity of the lesion.Conclusions: Our results suggest that for accurate estimation of a lesion severity, we need to use quantitative coronary angiography. Visual estimation has a significant bias and hence we ...

Patients having had coronary angiography elsewhere but who were referred to one of the study centers for PTCA were also screened. Clinical, angiographic and exercise test criteria were required for entry into the study. Clinical requirements were either a history of angina, an acute myocardial ...
Coronary angiography is the backbone of clinical coronary artery clinical care. The technical aspects of the procedure include a thorough clinical history and examination prior to angiography and knowledge of both the variations of coronary anatomy and e
This secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial examines whether immediate coronary angiography after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with a
Left and right coronary angiography was performed in multiple views within one week of CT. Quantitative ICA allowed identification of arteries with significant flow-limiting lesion as defined by a >70% diameter stenosis. Digital angiograms were analysed off-line with the use of an automated edge-...
b Catheter angiography in the right anterior oblique projection of a contrast injection of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery also demonstrates deviation and compression of the LAD (arrow). c Sagittal oblique MIP CT angiogram of the right coronary artery shows compression by an epicardial ...
This systematic review and meta-analysis compares the clinical effectiveness of coronary computed tomography angiography with that of functional stress
ACS = acute coronary syndrome; CCTA = coronary computed tomographic angiography; CVD = cardiovascular disease. The value of coronary CTA is likely to grow in the coming years. In selected patients, coronary CTA provides an unrivaled opportunity for more detailed analysis of both coronary anatomy and...
