Aims: Accurate positioning of aorto-ostial coronary stents is challenging. Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) allows detailed imaging of the coronary sinuses and implanted stents. We utilised CCTA to evaluate the accuracy of aorto-ostial stenting and to assess the efficacy of conventional angiography for guiding these procedures. Methods and results: We analysed 256-row CCTA scans in 23 patients who had undergone aorto-ostial stenting. Optimal stent positioning was defined as presence of the entire circumference of the proximal stent edge within an aorto-ostial landing zone (AOLZ), located within 1 mm of the aorto-ostial plane. Geographic miss was diagnosed when at least a section of the proximal stent edge was located proximal or distal to the AOLZ. CCTA findings were compared with review of the conventional two-dimensional implantation angiogram (two experienced operators). By CCTA, the entire circumference of the proximal stent edge was located within the AOLZ in only three (13%) cases, with geographic miss in the remainder. Conversely, conventional coronary angiography suggested complete lesion coverage to be present in 95% of cases and optimal location of the proximal stent edge within the AOLZ in 76%. Conclusions: Geographic miss was common in aorto-ostial stenting and was underestimated by conventional two-dimensional angiography.
