Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:To assess feasibility, image quality, and radiation dose of prospectively ECG-triggered coronary CT angiography (CTA) in orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) recipients. METHODS:47 consecutive OHT recipients (40 men, mean age 62.1 ± 10.9 years, mean heart rate 86.3 ± 14.4 bpm) underwent dual-source CTA to rule out coronary allograft vasculopathy in a prospectively ECG-triggered mode with data acquisition during 35% to 45% of the cardiac cycle. Two independent observers blindly assessed image quality on a per-segment and per-vessel basis using a four-point scale (1-excellent, 4-not evaluable). Scores 1-3 were considered acceptable for diagnosis. Multivariate analysis was performed to evaluate differences between image quality scores obtained at different reconstruction intervals. Effective radiation doses were calculated. RESULTS:671 coronary segments were evaluated. Interobserver agreement on the image quality was κ=0.75. Diagnostic image quality was observed in 93.9%, 95.5% and 93.3% of the segments at 35%, 40% and 45% reconstruction intervals. Mean image quality score was 1.5 ± 0.7 for the entire coronary tree, 1.4 ± 0.7 for the RCA, 1.6 ± 0.8 for the LCA and 1.6 ± 0.7 for the Cx at the best reconstruction interval. Estimated mean radiation dose was 4.5 ± 1.2 mSv. CONCLUSION:Systolic prospectively ECG-triggered CTA allows diagnostic image quality coronary angiograms in OHT recipients at low radiation doses.
