The study examined the feasibility of pre-procedural morphological assessment of coronary artery calcification in severely calcified lesions using ECG-gated non-contrast CT. Results showed a strong correlation between CT- and OCT-derived MCA, indicating that CT could be a useful tool in obtaining detailed information about severe coronary artery calcification prior to PCI. Sensitivity and specificity of CT in identifying MCA > 270 degrees and NC were also evaluated, highlighting the potential benefits of ECG-gated non-contrast coronary CT in clinical practice.
To investigate the feasibility of pre-procedural morphological assessment of coronary artery calcification in severely calcified lesions with electrocardiography (ECG)-gated non-contrast computed tomography (CT). Severely calcified coronary arteries in patients who underwent ECG-gated non-contrast CT prior to optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were studied retrospectively. CT and OCT data were co-registered by marking landmark structures such as side branches and reviewed side by side with cross-sectional images. The maximum calcium angle (MCA) and presence of nodular calcification (NC) were evaluated. A total of 496 cross-sections in 16 lesions were included in this analysis. The Pearson correlation coefficient between CT- and OCT-derived MCA was 0.92 (p < 0.001). Bland-Altman plots of OCT-derived MCA in relation to CT-derived MCA showed a mean bias of 4.8 degrees with 95% limits of agreement of - 69.7 to 79.4 degrees. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of CT in identifying MCA > 270 degrees were 90.3%, 79.7%, 92.1%, and 97.4%, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of CT in identifying NC were 73.3%, 97.5%, 47.8%, and 99.2%, respectively. ECG-gated non-contrast coronary CT might be helpful to obtain detailed information of severe coronary artery calcification before PCI.
