Usefulness of Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography to Assess Suitability for Revascularization in Patients With Significant Coronary Artery Disease and Angina Pectoris
Abstract
Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) accurately excludes the presence of coronary stenoses in selected patient populations. However, it remains unclear whether coronary CTA has the potential to replace invasive coronary angiography as a tool to assess a patient's suitability for revascularization as determined by the characterization of lesion morphology in patients with significant coronary artery disease. Coronary CTA (64-slice …
