Is multidetector computed tomography a suitable alternative to MR imaging for the assessment of myocardial necrosis after alcohol septal ablation?

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:To compare magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for the assessment of myocardial infarction (MI) after alcohol septal ablation (ASA). METHODS:Ten patients (mean age, 60 years ± 16) were examined with both MDCT and 1.5-T MR imaging performed 10 minutes after injection, within 3 days after ASA. Half of them had a temporary pacemaker (PM) during MDCT examination. Global image quality (IQ) and localization of MI were noticed on both MDCT and MR images. Volumes of MI, contrast-to-noise ratios (CNR) and signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) were also calculated. ASA effectiveness was evaluated by echocardiography immediately and 3 months after procedure. RESULTS:Global IQ was considered adequate for both procedures. In 8 patients, MI reached the basal part of the septum on both MDCT and MR images. The 2 remaining patients exhibited sparing of the basal septum on MDCT and MR images. Volumes of MI were within the same range with the 2 techniques (MDCT: 22.1 ± 8.8 mL; MR imaging: 23.8 ± 9.4 mL) and correlated well each other (R(2)=0.85, p<0.002). The 2 patients with sparing of the basal interventricular septum had persistent gradient on echocardiography 3 months after ASA, suggesting failure of the procedure. The volumes of MI didn't correlate with the reduction of pressure gradient on echocardiography 3 months after ASA (R(2)=0.02, p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Evaluation of post ASA MI is feasible with MDCT by comparison with MR imaging. MDCT might serve as an alternative imaging method in case of PM implantation.
