Abstract
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) provides qualitative and quantitative characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques, quantified percentages of myocardial perfusion from target vessels, and functional information—key insights that lend critical guidance to pre-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) planning, particularly for complex coronary interventional procedures. Advances in artificial intelligence-enabled CCTA imaging analysis and CT-angiography image fusion technology have facilitated the translation of CT imaging into clinical practice for PCI operators. This case report describes a PCI procedure for a chronic total occlusion of right coronary artery performed under the guidance of CT-coronary angiography fusion technology, serving as a practical example for the application of CCTA in pre-PCI planning for complex coronary lesions.
期刊介绍:
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions is an international journal covering the broad field of cardiovascular diseases. Subject material includes basic and clinical information that is derived from or related to invasive and interventional coronary or peripheral vascular techniques. The journal focuses on material that will be of immediate practical value to physicians providing patient care in the clinical laboratory setting. To accomplish this, the journal publishes Preliminary Reports and Work In Progress articles that complement the traditional Original Studies, Case Reports, and Comprehensive Reviews. Perspective and insight concerning controversial subjects and evolving technologies are provided regularly through Editorial Commentaries furnished by members of the Editorial Board and other experts. Articles are subject to double-blind peer review and complete editorial evaluation prior to any decision regarding acceptability.
