Is Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Angiography a Better Choice Than Angiography Alone for Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome and Coronary Artery Disease? Unveiling the Efficacy and Safety of This Modern Imaging Method: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Cardiovascular Imaging 1 min.
Coronary angiography has been an established standard for over 6 decades for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), but its role is limited to assessing vascular lumen and anterograde flow. In the 1980s, intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) gained traction in interventional cardiology for its advantages...
Optimization of acquisition phase and acquisition time window of coronary artery CT angiography with different heart rates based on prospective ECG-gating
Cardiovascular Imaging 4 min.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) continues to have a high death rate, causing a worldwide burden on economies and humanity [1]. CCTA has emerged as the premier option for clinical diagnosis and noninvasive assessment of CAD [2, 3]. However, there has also been an increased focus on concerns regarding excessive...
Incidence and predictors of postcontrast acute kidney injury following computed tomography angiography and bronchial artery embolization in hemoptysis patients
Cardiovascular Imaging 4 min.
Hemoptysis is one of the most common clinical emergencies; it can be life-threatening due to asphyxia or excessive blood loss and requires active management in the emergency setting [1]. Many studies have shown that bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is an effective, minimally invasive option [2, 3,...
Deep learning-based coronary calcium score derived from non-gated chest CT and major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Cardiovascular Imaging 5 min.
As of 2014, the World Health Organization reported that > 422 million adults globally were living with diabetes mellitus (DM), a number that continues to rise [1]. Patients with DM have a 2–4 times greater risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to those without...
