ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar la precisión de la coronariografía por tomografía de 64 cortes para la detección de la reestenosis de los stents. Método: Se examinaron 52 pacientes portadores de 76 stents coronarios con sospecha de reestenosis. Inicialmente se les realizó coronariografía mediante tomógrafo de 64 cortes y posteriormente coronariografía invasiva como patrón de referencia. Se calcularon los índices de eficiencia diagnóstica. Resultados: En los stents valorables de 3 mm o más de diámetro, la sensibilidad, especificidad, valor predictivo positivo y negativo de la tomografía fueron de 95, 98, 95 y 98% respectivamente, con razón de verosimilitud positiva de 42 (IC95%, 6 a 290) y negativa de 0.05 (IC95%, 0.01 a 0.35), validez de 97% y Kappa de 0.93 (IC95%, 0.83 a 1), (p ≤ 0.00001). En los stents valorables menores que 3 mm, disminuyeron apreciablemente los índices de eficiencia diagnóstica y de Kappa, perdiendo la significancia estadística (p > 0.05). Conclusión: La coronariografía por tomografía de 64 cortes es una técnica clínica no invasiva precisa, en la detección de la reestenosis de los stents, sobre todo en los stents de 3 mm o más, y segura, ya que permite identificar a los pacientes que necesitan o no la realización de una coronariografía invasiva de control.


Objective: To determine the accuracy of coronary angiography through 64-slice computed tomography in detecting in-stent restenosis. Method: Fifty-two patients with 76 coronary stents and suspicion of restenosis were examined. Initially, they underwent coronary angiography through 64-slice computed tomography, and subsequently invasive coronary angiography as gold standard. Diagnostic efficiency indexes were calculated. Results: In the stents of 3 mm or more of diameter, tomography sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value were 95, 98, 95 and 98% respectively, with positive likelihood ratio of 42 (CI95%, 6 to 290) and negative of 0.05 (CI95%, .01 to .35), validity of 97% and Kappa of 0.93 (CI95%, .83 to 1), (p ≤ 0.00001). In the stents smaller than 3 mm, the indexes of diagnostic efficiency and Kappa considerably decreased, loosing the statistical significance (p >0.05). Conclusions: Coronary angiography through 64-slice computed tomography is an accurate, non-invasive clinical technique for the detection of in-stent restenosis, especially with stents of 3 mm or more of diameter, and reliable allows identification of patients who need to undergo or not control invasive coronary angiography.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La presencia de calcio en las coronarias es prácticamente patognomónica de aterosclerosis. En el año 1990, Agatston diseño un método para cuantificar el calcio a través de la tomografía. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar el valor del puntaje de calcio coronario para confirmar o descartar obstrucción coronaria significativa. Métodos: Se incluyeron 276 pacientes (80 por ciento del sexo masculino y edad media de 56±10 años) con sospecha de cardiopatía isquémica, a los que inicialmente se les realizó cuantificación del calcio coronario a través de la tomografía de 64 cortes y luego coronariografía por cateterismo. Se determinó sensibilidad, especificidad, valor predictivo positivo, valor predictivo negativo, razones de verosimilitudes, índice de kappa y validez diagnóstica para puntos de corte 0, 25, 50, 100 y 400 Unidades Agatston (UA) de puntaje de calcio por pacientes y arterias para diagnosticar estenosis coronaria significativa tomando como patrón de referencia la coronariografía invasiva, así como el área bajo la curva ROC. Se consideró significativo una p<0,05 y un índice de confiabilidad del 95 por ciento. Resultados: La sensibilidad, especificidad y el valor predictivo negativo fueron 96 por ciento, 51 por ciento y 92,4 por ciento respectivamente y kappa de 0,46 (IC 95 por ciento, 0,37-0,56), (p<0,0001) para punto de corte 0 UA, y para punto de corte 50 UA fueron 84 por ciento; 80 por ciento y 84 por ciento respectivamente con kappa de 0,64 (IC 95 por ciento, 0,56-0,74), (p<0,0001). El área bajo la curva ROC en el análisis por pacientes fue 0,887±0,020 (0,848-0,926)...


Introduction: The presence of calcium in coronary arteries is practically pathognomonic of the atherosclerosis. In 1990, Agatston designed a method for to quantify the calcium by tomography. The aim of present paper was to determine the coronary calcium score to confirm or to rule out a significant coronary obstruction. Methods: In present study authors included 276 patients (80 percent of male sex and a mean age of 56 ± 10 years) with suspect of ischemic heart disease, who initially underwent a quantification of coronary calcium by 64 scans tomography and then a catheterization coronariography. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, credibility reasons, Kappa index and diagnostic validity for scan points 0, 25, 50, 100 and 400 Agatston (AU) of calcium score for patients and arteries to diagnose a significant coronary stenosis taking as reference pattern the invasive coronary one, as well as the area under the ROC curve. A p <0,05 and a reliability rate of 95 percent were considered as significant. Results: The sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive value were of 96 percent, 51 percent and 92,4 percent, respectively and a Kappa index of 0,46 (95 percent CI, 0,37-0,56), (p <0,0001) for a scan point 0 UA and for a scan point 50 UA were of 84, percent, 80 percent and 84 percent, respectively with a Kappa index of 0,64 (95 percent CI, 0,56-0,74),(<0,0001). In analysis by patients the area under the ROC curve, the sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive value were of 91 percent, 66 percent and 96 percent, respectively with a Kappa index of 0,43 (95 percent CI, 0,39-0,48), (p<0,0001) and for the scan point 25 UA 83 percent and 94 percent, respectively with a Kappa index of 0,58 (95 percent CI, 0,52-063), (p<0,0001)...

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Multislice computed tomography coronary angiography (MSCT-CA) has been developed in the last years. One of the advantages is to supply information of the lumen and wall of the vessels. The aim was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of MSCT - CA to detect significant coronary stenoses taking as gold standard the invasive coronary angiography (ICA). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We studied, after informed consent, 64 consecutive patients (50 males). First MSCT - CA was performed and afterwards with a media of 45 days the ICA. Sensitivity (SENS), specificity (ESP), positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and predictive precision (PP) were assessed per patients, per arteries and per segments. RESULTS: The SENS, ESP, PPV, PNV and PP were 96.4, 91.2, 87, 96.8, 93.5% respectively per patients and 95.7, 97, 88.2, 98.9, 96.7% respectively per arteries and 91, 99, 89, 99.6, 98.7% respectively per segments. The diagnostic accuracy decreased in patients with heart rate higher than 65 beats per minute, as well as in patients with calcium scoring higher than 400 Agatston Units or body mass index with or higher than 30 kg/m2 CS. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that MSCT - CA has a good accuracy, especially in the ESP and NPV for the diagnosis of significant coronary stenoses in selected patients with calcium scoring of 400 Agatston Units or lower, heart rate with 65 beats per minute or lower with regular rhythm and body mass index lower than 30 kg/m2 CS.

ABSTRACT

La coronariografía invasiva (CI) constituye el patrón de referencia para el estudio de las arterias coronarias. Se ha planteado que la tomografía computarizada de múltiples cortes (TCMC) puede evitar la CI. Se estudiaron 62 pacientes, 50 del sexo masculino, edad media 56 ± 8 años para evaluar la precisión diagnóstica de la TCMC de 64 cortes en la detección de estenosis coronarias significativas (ECS), comparándola con la CI. Se les realizó la CI por presentar ECS o persistencia de los síntomas. Se determinó sensibilidad (S), especificidad (E), valor predictivo positivo (VPP), valor predictivo negativo (VPN) y precisión predictiva (PP) por pacientes y por arterias. La S, la E, el VPP, el VPN y la PP fueron 96,4; 91,2; 87; 96,8 y 93,5 por ciento, respectivamente, por pacientes, y 95,7; 97; 88,2; 98,9 y 96,7 por ciento, respectivamente, por arterias. Se concluyó que la TCMC puede sustituir la CI en pacientes seleccionados.


Invasive coronariography (IC) is the reference pattern for the study of coronary arteries. It has been stated that multiple slice computed tomography (MSCT) may avoid IC. 62 patients, 50 of whom were males, with mean age 56 ± 8, were studied to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the 64-slice MSCT in the detection of significant coronary stenoses (SCS), comparing it with IC. IC was performed due to the presence of SCS or persistence of the symptoms. Sensitivity (S), specificity (E), positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and predictive accuracy (PA) were determined by patients and arteries. S, E, PPV, NPV and PA were 96.4; 91.2; 87; 96.8 and 93.5 percent per patient, respectively; whereas they were 95.7; 97; 88.2; 98.9 and 96.7 percent by artery, respectively. It was concluded that MSCT may replace IC in selected patients.

ABSTRACT

Introducción y Objetivos La coronariografía invasiva (CI) es el patrón estándar para el estudio de las coronarias con un bajo índice de complicaciones. La tomografía computarizada multicorte (TCMC) permite el estudio mínimamente invasivo del árbol coronario. El objetivo del presente trabajo estuvo dirigido a determinar la precisión de la TCMC para detectar estenosis coronaria significativa (ECS) según puntaje de calcio y frecuencia cardíaca. Material y métodos Se estudiaron 62 pacientes, 50 del sexo masculino, a los que se les realizó primero la coronariografía por TCMC y luego la CI, con una media de 45 días, previo consentimiento informado. Se determinaron la sensibilidad (S), la especificidad (E), el valor predictivo positivo (VPP), el valor predictivo negativo (VPN) y la precisión predictiva (PP) por paciente y arterias según puntaje de calcio y frecuencia cardíaca. Resultados La S, la E, el VPP, el VPN y la PP por arterias fueron, respectivamente, con puntaje de calcio menor o igual a 400 UA del 98%, 98%, 89%, 99% y 98% y con puntaje mayor de 400 UA, del 75%, 50%, 75%, 50% y 67%. En los 54 pacientes con frecuencia cardíaca menor o igual a 65 latidos por minuto, la S, la E, el VPP, el VPN y la PP fueron del 100%, 96%, 96%, 100% y 98,1% y en los 8 pacientes con frecuencia cardíaca mayor de 65 latidos por minuto fueron del 50%, 66,7%, 33%, 80% y 62,5%, respectivamente. Conclusiones El puntaje de calcio por encima de 400 UA por paciente y arterias, como también la frecuencia cardíaca mayor de 65 latidos por minuto, disminuyen la precisión diagnóstica de ECS a través de la TCMC.


Introduction and Objectives Invasive coronariography (IC) is the gold standard for the study of coronary arteries with a low percentage of complications. Multislice computerized tomography (MSCT) allows the minimally invasive study of the coronary tree. The objective of the present study was aimed at determining the accuracy of MSCT in the detection of significant coronary stenosis (SCS) by calcium score and heart rate. Material and Methods The 62 patients enrolled in the study (50 males) underwent a coronariography with MSCT, and later the IC, with a mean of 45 days, after signature of an informed consent. Sensitivity (Se) was assessed, as well as specificity (Sp), positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and predictive accuracy (PA) per patient and arteries, according to calcium score and heart rate. Results Se, Sp, PPV, NPV and PA per arteries, with a calcium score lower or equal to 400 AU were, respectively 98%, 98%, 89%, 99% and 98%, and with a score higher than 400 AU, of 75%, 50%, 75%, 50% and 67%. In 54 patients with heart rate lower or equal to 65 beats per minute, Se, Sp, PPV, NPV and PA were 100%, 96%, 96%, 100% and 98,1% and in the 8 patients with heart rate higher than 65 beats per minute were 50%, 66.7%, 33%, 80% and 62.5%, respectively. Conclusions Calcium score above 400 AU per patient and arteries, as well as the heart rate over 65 beats per minute, decrease the diagnostic accuracy of SCS by means of MSCT.
