Assessment of the presence and extent of coronary collateralization by coronary computed tomographic angiography in patients with total occlusions
Abstract
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) may be helpful to manage patients with chronic coronary occlusions. The aim of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of CTA to detect the presence and extent of coronary collaterals as compared to invasive coronary angiography (ICA). We retrospectively evaluated 26 patients who underwent both coronary CTA and ICA within 3 weeks and demonstrated a total coronary occlusion (TIMI …
