Diagnostic Performances of the Computed Tomographic Coronary Angiography and IntraVascular UltraSound to Evaluate Ischemia Causing Coronary Artery Stenosis
In Brief
An observational study evaluating diagnostic procedures CCTA, CAG, IVUS and FFR for Diagnosis Coronary Artery Disease. Completed, enrolled 150 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Diagnostic purposes of the coronary angiography is to detect stenosis (anatomy) and to detect ischemia related stenosis (function). Coronary angiography (CAG) is a gold standard invasive techniques, but has several limitations. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides tomographic intra-luminal images. Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) is helpful to assess precise anatomical information. Optimal functional criteria and their accuracy of IVUS and CCTA by fraction flow reserve (FFR) have not been compared yet.
