Abstract
Rationale and objectives: Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) and subtotal occlusion (STO) pose diagnostic challenges, differing in treatment strategies. Artificial intelligence and radiomics are promising tools for accurate discrimination. This study aimed to develop deep learning (DL) and radiomics models using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to differentiate CTO from STO lesions and compare their performance with that of the conventional method.
Materials and methods: CTO and STO were identified retrospectively from a tertiary hospital and served as training and validation sets for developing and validating the DL and radiomics models to distinguish CTO from STO. An external test cohort was recruited from two additional tertiary hospitals with identical eligibility criteria. All participants underwent CCTA within 1 month before invasive coronary angiography.
Results: A total of 581 participants (mean age, 50 years ± 11 [SD]; 474 [81.6%] men) with 600 lesions were enrolled, including 403 CTO and 197 STO lesions. The DL and radiomics models exhibited better discrimination performance than the conventional method, with areas under the curve of 0.908 and 0.860, respectively, vs. 0.794 in the validation set (all p<0.05), and 0.893 and 0.827, respectively, vs. 0.746 in the external test set (all p<0.05).
Conclusions: The proposed CCTA-based DL and radiomics models achieved efficient and accurate discrimination of coronary CTO and STO.
