Abstract
To comprehensively evaluate quantitative parameters derived from routine coronary CT angiography (cCTA) for predicting lesion-specific ischemia in comparison to invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR). The ability of cCTA to gauge lesion-specific ischemia is limited. Several quantitative parameters have been proposed to enhance the specificity of cCTA, such as morphologic indices (lesion length/minimal lumen diameter(4) [LL/MLD(4)]; percentage aggregate plaque volume [%APV]) and a measure of intracoronary contrast gradients (corrected coronary opacification [CCO]). Forty-nine patients who had undergone cCTA followed by FFR within 3 months were included. An experienced observer visually assessed all cCTA studies and derived multiple measures characterizing the lesion of interest, including LL, MLD, minimal lumen area (MLA), LL/MLD(4), remodeling index, %APV, and CCO. Lesion-specific ischemia was considered with FFR <0.8. Among 56 lesions, 13 were flow-obstructing by FFR. On univariate analysis, LL, MLD, LL/MLD(4), and CCO showed discriminatory power. The area under the curve of LL/MLD(4) (0.909) was significantly greater compared with MLD (0.802, P = 0.014), LL (0.739, P = 0.041), and CCO (0.809), although the latter did not reac...Continue Reading
