Comparison of Coronary CT With IVUS in Heart Transplant Population
Not Applicable
Withdrawn
- Conditions
- Heart Transplantation
- Registration Number
- NCT00589524
- Lead Sponsor
- Mayo Clinic
- Brief Summary
To compare results of Intravascular Ultrasound (which occurs during cardiac catheterization) with Computed Tomography (CT) scan to detect blockages or narrowing of the arteries that feed the heart. These will be studied in the cardiac transplant population.

- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- Not specified
Inclusion Criteria
- Heart transplant patients coming to the Cardiac Cath Lab for their yearly angiogram which includes intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)
Exclusion Criteria
- Patients with a history of allergic reactions to contrast material Creatine >1.5 Clinical or hemodynamic instability Those who are unable to consent for enrollment into the study
Study & Design
- Study Type
- INTERVENTIONAL
- Study Design
- SINGLE_GROUP
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To determine if Computed Tomography (CT) of the arteries that feed the heart is more sensitive than Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) which is performed during cardiac catheterization within 3 months of cardiac cath with IVUS
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method
