简要总结
Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is increasingly used for ischemic heart disease diagnosis. The rising number of CCTA tests has led to a significant increase in the number of finding unexpected incidental extracardiac diseases.
详细描述
The increasing utilization of coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography (CCTA) to diagnose and triage patients with suspected or known ischemic heart disease has led to a parallel increase in the frequency of incidental findings in the coronaries (nonatherosclerotic), noncoronary cardiac structures and noncardiac structures.
Studies have reported a prevalence of incidental findings on CCTA up to 40%. Most of these findings have no clinical relevance, but some have significant clinical implications in the care and prognosis of the patients.
We sought to assess the frequency of incidental findings on CCTA scans in consecutive studies performed in the past 5 years.
