Coronary Stents: Evaluation and Follow-up

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The 2010 Expert Consensus Document on Coronary CT Angiography (CTA) states, “Coronary stents pose some significant technical challenges for coronary CTA, since the metal in the stents may create several types of artifacts in the images. Special algorithms are now routinely used that may reduce some of these artifacts during image reconstruction. The literature suggests that in patients who have large diameter stents, good image quality, and whose clinical presentation suggests low-to-intermediate probability for restenosis, 64-channel coronary CTA can be used to rule out severe in-stent restenosis” [1].
