OBJECTIVE

To analyze the efficacy of CT angiography for diagnosis of in-stent restenosis (ISR) in proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A prospective observational study included 50 patients who underwent coronary angiography (CA) and CT angiography for typical angina pectoris and suspected LAD in-stent restenosis. Significant ISR was determined by luminal diameter narrowing ≥50% or total occlusion.

RESULTS

Significant ISR was found in 40% of patients, while 60% of patients had non-significant ISR. According to CT angiography data, 48% of patients had significant ISR, 52% — non-significant ISR. Sensitivity of CT angiography in diagnosis of LAD in-stent restenosis was 100%, specificity — 86%, positive predictive value — 83%, negative predictive value — 100%, test accuracy — 92%. There was a correlation between these results and stent diameter. Indeed, test accuracy was 73% in patients with stent diameter <3 mm and 100% in patients with stent diameter >3 mm.

CONCLUSION

CT angiography is a reliable and effective diagnostic method for proximal ISR of LAD with high negative predictive value. However, its accuracy depends on stent diameter.
