Abstract:
By providing data previously available only by intravascular ultrasound, 64-slice multidetector computed tomographic angiography (CTA) will impact percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in multiple areas: (1) pre-PCI patient selection; (2) identification of significant lesions; (3) in-stent restenosis; (4) procedure planning: stent sizing, choice of intervention, and equipment, chronic total occlusions, 3D-CTA in the catheterization laboratory; (5) plaque evaluation and identification of high-risk lesions; (6) postcatheterization decisions, and (7) structural heart disease. The likely outcome is transformation of the catheterization laboratory into a streamlined interventional suite, utilizing on-line CTA data in an interactive format.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
