Coronary Plaques The sensitivity of CCT is greater for calcified (94%) than for mixed (78%) or soft (53%) plaques and is mostly limited to large-caliber vessels Compared with IVUS, CCT tends to underestimate the noncalcified plaque volume but to overestimate the calcified plaque volume
PLAQUE COMPONENTS Plaque composition rather than the degree of lumen stenosis determines the risk of plaque rupture. AHA has categorized plaques: - Vulnerable or high-risk plaques have thin fibrous cap with extracellular lipid core. - Severely stenotic plaques usually have increased smooth muscle cells and collagen at the core with little lipid component. These are less likely to rupture. Not visible by catheterization, but is being explored with CT angio.

Assessment of left main coronary artery atherosclerotic burden using 64-slice CT coronary angiography: correlation between dimensions and presence of plaques. - Cademartiri F - Radiol Med - 01-APR-2009; 114(3): 358-69 Increased LM diameters are associated with the presence of atherosclerosis. MDCT CA indicates relevant features of LM atherosclerotic burden, as rupture and subsequent thrombosis of vulnerable plaques may develop from lesions characterised as nonsignificant at conventional CA.

Coronary Imaging 66 year old patient S/P CABG. Venous bypass graft to OM branch demonstrates a focal aneurysm (yellow arrows) which contains mural thrombus (pink arrows) resulting in a relatively normal contrast enhanced lumen. The volume rendered images (bottom left) only displays the lumen thus missing the thrombosed portion of the aneurysm. Coronary catheterization also only looks at the lumen and thus also would likely miss the finding.

Usefulness of 64-slice MDCT for follow-up of young children with coronary artery aneurysm due to Kawasaki disease: initial experience. - Peng Y - Eur J Radiol - 01-MAR-2009; 69(3): 500-9 To evaluate the initial application and value of 64-slice multidetector CT as an alternative diagnostic modality in the follow-up of young children with coronary artery aneurysm due to Kawasaki disease. 12 children (mean age 5.1 years, range 1.8-7.8 years) for follow-up (time range from 1.1 to 5.1 years) of known Kawasaki disease and coronary artery aneurysm underwent 64-slice MDCT ECG-gated coronary angiography. A total of 30 coronary artery aneurysms were identified with measured mean of 7.5+/-3.8 mm in diameter, and of 12.4+/-9.1 mm in longitudinal lengths. The affected segments included LM7/12(58.3%), 9/12(75%) of LAD1, 4/12(33.3%) of LAD2, 2/12(16.7%) of LCX1; 6/12(50%) of RCA1, 9/12(75%) of RCA2 and 4/12(33.3%) of RCA3, including affected two segments in 9 tumors and three segments in 1 tumor. Calcifications were found in 5 aneurysms and 3/5 with thrombosis; six stenotic segments were found. ECHO failed to detect 8 tumors with 2/8 in LAD, 1/8 in LCX and 5/8 in RCA, and those included 4 small aneurysms. The use of 64-slice MDCT angiography proved valuable for monitoring young children with Kawasaki disease. Further study is necessary to specify the sensitivity and specificity of MDCT in the follow-up.

The role of coronary CT angiography in chronic total occlusion intervention Stephen C W Cheung1, Michael C L Lim2, Carmen W S Chan3 PCI in CTO is often a technically challenging procedure Manipulation of wires and devices through a CTO during PCI without any means to visually identify vessel-wall boundaries involves an inherent risk of complications such as arterial dissection, perforation and cardiac tamponade. Primary goal of CCTA for imaging in CTOs involves identifying the presence and locations of CTO as well as predicting the potential clinical benefits derived from revascularisation of the occluded segment. Secondary goal includes preprocedural planning to shorten procedure times, visualisation of the procedure in predicting the ease with which a CTO can be crossed and the frequency of procedure-related complications such as contrast nephropathy and radiation skin injury. Postprocedural assessment of the revascularised arterial segments and Long-term follow-up on the patency of coronary stents.

Multislice CT coronary angiography for the detection of burden, morphology and distribution of atherosclerotic plaques in the left main bifurcation. - Rodriguez-Granillo GA - Int J Cardiovasc Imaging - 01-JUN-2007; 23(3): 389-92 At the left main bifurcation, atherosclerotic plaques are commonly located at the ostial LAD and opposite to the flow divider. The angle of the left main bifurcation and the presence of plaques within the bifurcation are closely related.
The bifurcation study using 64 multislice computed tomography. - Kawasaki T - Catheter Cardiovasc Interv - 1-APR- 2009; 73(5): 653-8 LMT bifurcation have a higher rate of steep angled bifurcation in humans, it is therefore necessary to take the bifurcation angle into consideration in the case of LMT stenting. These data suggest that a bifurcation study using MSCT can clarify the 3D structure of coronary bifurcation and may provide useful information for bifurcation stenting.
