Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the diagnostic performance of low dose stent imaging in patients with large (≥ 3 mm) and small (< 3 mm) calibre stents by third-generation dual-source CT. METHODS: Symptomatic patients suspected of having in-stent restenosis (ISR) were prospectively enrolled. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) were performed within 1 month for correlation. Binary ISR was defined as an in-stent neointimal proliferation with diameter stenosis ≥ 50%. The radiation dose and image quality of CCTA were also assessed. RESULTS: Sixty-nine patients with 140 stents were ultimately included for analysis. The mean total radiation dose of CCTA was 1.3 ± 0.72 mSv in all patients and 0.95 ± 0.17 mSv in patients with high pitch acquisition. The overall diagnostic accuracy of CCTA stent imaging of patient-based, lesion-based and stent-based analysis was 95.7%, 94.1% and 94.3%, respectively. Further, the diagnostic accuracy of CCTA in the small calibre stent group (diameter < 3 mm) was slightly lower than that of the large calibre stent group (diameter ≥ 3 mm) (88.5% versus 98.7%, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Third-generation dual-source CT enables accurate diagnosis of coronary ISR of both large and small calibre stents. Low radiation dose could be achieved with preserved image quality. KEY POINTS: • Third-generation DSCT enables accurate diagnosis of coronary ISR of all size stents. • Low radiation dose could be achieved with preserved image quality. • The diagnostic accuracy of CCTA of small calibre stents was 88.5%.
