Accuracy of Computed Tomographic Angiography for Stenosis Quantification Using Quantitative Coronary Angiography or Intravascular Ultrasound as the Gold Standard
The American Journal of Cardiology, 10/13/09
Joshi SB et al. – In this cohort of patients with intermediate–grade lesions on cardiac catheterization, absolute measurements of stenosis severity on CTA correlated with IVUS but not with QCA. These findings suggest that limitations of quantitative coronary angiography as a gold standard need to be considered in studies evaluating the accuracy of coronary CTA.
