Liang S, Bai Y, Zhang J, Wang A, Li J, Diao K, He Y. The added value of coronary CTA in chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur Radiol 2024; 34:4041-4052. [PMID: 37951854 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-10341-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To systematically investigate and summarize the utility of coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) in the management of chronic total occlusion (CTO)-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS The authors searched the four databases between 2005 and 2023 for studies investigating the role of CCTA and invasive coronary angiograms (ICA) images when used as the pre-procedural tool for CTO-PCI. Efficacy and safety of CCTA in CTO-PCI treatment as a pre-procedural assessment tool was evaluated. RESULTS Forty-seven studies were finally chosen for this systematic review. CCTA had a high degree of agreement with ICA when applied for J-CTO scoring system. A J-CTO (Multicenter CTO Registry in Japan) score > 3, together with calcification, occlusion length ≥ 20 mm, blunt stump, and bending > 45° were shared imaging risk factors on both ICA and CCTA for technique failure and guidewire crossing over 30 min. Additionally, negative remodeling and multiple diseased vessel were significant indicators on CCTA. Although patients with pre-procedural CCTA showed a trend of higher success rate and easier guidewire crossing, and CCTA showed a slightly higher predictive accuracy for process success, no significant improvement in post-PCI major adverse cardiac events of using CCTA for assessment has been achieved. CONCLUSIONS CCTA is a safe and effective pre-operative tool of CTO-PCI. Except for the shared imaging risk factors with ICA for a hard CTO-PCI including calcification, occlusion length ≥ 20 mm, blunt stump, bending > 45°, and J-CTO score > 3, factors like negative remodeling and multiple diseased vessel were also recognized as significant pre-operative assessment indicators on CCTA. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT A pre-procedural assessment based on coronary computed tomographic angiography has the potential to aid in the management of chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention. KEY POINTS • A coronary computed tomographic angiography-based pre-procedural assessment can help chronic total occlusion-percutaneous coronary intervention management. • The recognized high-risk features detected via coronary computed tomographic angiography and invasive coronary angiograms are comparable in detecting difficult lesions and chronic total occlusion-percutaneous coronary intervention failure. • Coronary computed tomographic angiography has an additional value to be a safe and effective pre-procedural assessment tool for chronic total occlusion-percutaneous coronary intervention.

BMC Med Imaging 2024; 24:84. [PMID: 38594629 PMCID: PMC11005149 DOI: 10.1186/s12880-024-01248-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Differentiating chronic total occlusion (CTO) from subtotal occlusion (SO) is often difficult to make from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). We developed a CCTA-based radiomics model to differentiate CTO and SO. METHODS A total of 66 patients with SO underwent CCTA before invasive angiography and were matched to 66 patients with CTO. Comprehensive imaging analysis was conducted for all lesioned vessels, involving the automatic identification of the lumen within the occluded segment and extraction of 1,904 radiomics features. Radiomics models were then constructed to assess the discriminative value of these features in distinguishing CTO from SO. External validation of the model was performed using data from another medical center. RESULTS Compared to SO patients, CTO patients had more blunt stumps (internal: 53/66 (80.3%) vs. 39/66 (59.1%); external: 36/50 (72.0%) vs. 20/50 (40.0%), both p < 0.01), longer lesion length (internal: median length 15.4 mm[IQR: 10.4-22.3 mm] vs. 8.7 mm[IQR: 4.9-12.6 mm]; external:11.8 mm[IQR: 6.1-23.4 mm] vs. 6.2 mm[IQR: 3.5-9.1 mm]; both p < 0.001). Sixteen unique radiomics features were identified after the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression. When added to the combined model including imaging features, radiomics features provided increased value for distinguishing CTO from SO (AUC, internal: 0.772 vs. 0.846; p = 0.023; external: 0.718 vs. 0.781, p = 0.146). CONCLUSIONS The occluded segment vessels of CTO and SO have different radiomics signatures. The combined application of radiomics features and imaging features based on CCTA extraction can enhance diagnostic confidence.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) narrows vessel lumens at the sites of atherosclerosis, increasing the risk of myocardial ischemia or infarction. Early and accurate diagnosis of CAD is crucial to significantly improve prognosis and management. CT angiography (CTA) is a noninvasive imaging technique that enables assessment of vascular structure and stenosis with high resolution and contrast. Coronary CTA is useful in the diagnosis of CAD. Recently, the CAD-reporting and data system (CAD-RADS), a diagnostic classification system based on coronary CTA, has been developed to improve intervention efficacy in patients suspected of CAD. While the CAD-RAD is based on CTA, it includes borderline categories where interpreting the coronary artery status solely based on CTA findings may be challenging. This review introduces CTA findings that fall within the CAD-RADS categories that necessitate additional tests to decide to perform invasive coronary angiography and discusses appropriate management strategies.

Abstract
Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) often occurs in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease, which remains one of the greatest challenges for interventional cardiologists. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) with its emerging post-processing techniques can provide a detailed assessment of CTO lesions before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), playing an important role in the clinical management of CTO PCI, from early diagnosis, pre-procedural outcome prediction, the crossing algorithm planning, intraprocedural guidance, and finally post-procedural assessment and follow-up. In addition, the feasibility of CT perfusion (CTP) in patients with CTO has been validated. Combined CCTA and CTP have the great potential to be the one-stop-shop imaging modality for assessing both anatomy and function of CTO lesions. This review aims to make radiologists understand the role of CCTA in the diagnosis and assessment of CTO lesions, thus assisting interventionalists in optimizing CTO PCI crossing strategies with the expertise of radiologists.Critical relevance statement The anatomical features of CTO on CCTA can reveal the complexity of CTO lesions and are associated with CTO PCI outcome, thus helping interventionalists optimize CTO PCI crossing strategies.Key points • CTO is the common lesion in invasive coronary angiography, and CTO PCI is technically difficult and its success rate is relatively low.• Length, collaterals, and attenuation-related signs can help distinguish CTO from subtotal occlusion.• The anatomical features of CTO lesions can help grade the difficulty of CTO PCI and predict procedural outcomes and long-term outcomes of CTO PCI.• The real-time fusion of CCTA with fluoroscopic angiography can be applied in highly complicated CTO lesions.• After CTO PCI, CCTA can help guide a second CTO PCI re-entry or follow up stent patency.

Identifying fragile calcifications of the aortic valve in transcatheter aortic valve replacement: iodine concentration of aortic valvular calcification by spectral CT. Eur Radiol 2023; 33:1963-1972. [PMID: 36112191 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-022-09133-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the relationship between spectral computed tomography (CT) measured iodine concentration and strength of aortic valvular calcification (AVC) in patients with aortic valve stenosis (AVS). METHODS A retrospective study was performed on patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for symptomatic AVS and underwent both pre and postprocedural electrocardiogram gated CT scans using a spectral CT system. Preprocedural CT was used to evaluate the volume and iodine concentration (IC) in the AVC. Postprocedural CT data were used to calculate the volume reduction percentage (VRP) of AVC. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify the independent variables related to the VRP in AVCs. RESULTS A total of 94 AVCs were selected from 22 patients. The mean volume and IC of the AVCs before TAVR were 0.37 mL ± 0.15 mL and 7 mg/mL ± 10.5 mg/mL, respectively. After TAVR, a median VRP of all 94 AVCs was 18.5%. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the IC was independently associated with the VRP (coefficient = 1.64, p < 0.001). When an optimal IC cutoff point was set at 4 mg/mL in the assessment of a fragile AVC which showed the VRP was > 18.5%, the sensitivity was 63%; specificity, 91%; positive predictive value, 88%; and negative predictive value, 71%. CONCLUSIONS When using spectral CT to prepare the TAVR, measuring the IC of the AVC may be useful to assess the probability of AVC deformity after TAVR. KEY POINTS • A dual-layer detector-based spectral CT enables quantifying iodine of contrast media in the aortic valve calcification (AVC) on contrast-enhanced CT images. • The AVC including iodine of contrast media on contrast-enhanced CT image may have loose compositions, associated with the deformity of AVC after TAVR. • Measuring the iodine concentration in AVC may have the potential to assess the probability of AVC deformity, which may be associated with the outcome and complications after TAVR.2.

Abstract
Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has emerged as a powerful noninvasive tool for characterizing the presence, extent, and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with stable angina. Recent technological advancements in CT scanner hardware and software have augmented the rich information that can be derived from a single CCTA study. Beyond merely identifying the presence of CAD and assessing stenosis severity, CCTA now allows for the identification and characterization of plaques, lesion length, and fluoroscopic angle optimization, as well as enables the assessment of the physiologic extent of stenosis through CT-derived fractional flow reserve, and may even allow for the prediction of the response to revascularization. These and other features make CCTA capable of not only guiding invasive coronary angiography referral, but also give it the unique ability to help plan coronary intervention. This review summarizes current and future applications of CCTA in procedural planning for percutaneous coronary intervention, provides rationale for wider integration of CCTA in the workflow of the interventional cardiologist, and details how CCTA may help improve patient care and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to test whether the success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) increased with pre-procedural coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). BACKGROUND Coronary CTA provides valuable information before and during CTO-PCI. However, there are no randomized data that explore whether coronary CTA increases its success rate. METHODS In this multicenter, randomized trial, a total of 400 patients with CTO were randomized to receive PCI with pre-procedural coronary CTA (coronary CTA-guided group; n = 200) or without coronary CTA (angiography-guided group; n = 200) between January 2014 and September 2019. The primary endpoint was the successful recanalization rate, a final TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) grade ≥2, and ≤30% residual stenosis on the final angiogram. RESULTS A total of 10 operators performed PCI. Successful recanalization was achieved in 187 patients (93.5%) in the coronary CTA-guided group and in 168 patients (84.0%) in the angiography-guided group (absolute difference, 9.5% [95% confidence interval: 3.4% to 15.6%]; p = 0.003). When comparing the success rates according to the Multicenter CTO Registry of Japan score (J-CTO), the coronary CTA guidance was favored over the angiography-guidance in the subset of J-CTO ≥2 versus in the subset of J-CTO <2 (p interaction = 0.035). Coronary perforations occurred in 2 (1%) and 8 patients (4%) in the coronary CTA- and angiography-guided groups, respectively (p = 0.055). Periprocedural myocardial infarction was not observed in the coronary CTA-guided group, whereas it occurred in 4 patients (2%) in the angiography-guided group (p = 0.123). Total procedure and fluoroscopic times were not different. There were no differences between the groups in the occurrences of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction, or target-vessel revascularization at 1 year. CONCLUSIONS Pre-procedural coronary CTA-guidance for CTO resulted in higher success rates with numerically fewer immediate periprocedural complications such as coronary perforations or periprocedural myocardial infarction than angiography guidance. Higher success rates were more prominently observed in patients with CTO who had a high J-CTO score than those who did not.
