Brief Summary

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in adults in the United States.\[1\] In the latest guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology anatomical non-invasive imaging by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) plays an important role in the diagnosis of the presence of CAD in patients without a history of CAD and a low to intermediate likelihood.\[2\] CCTA provides high accuracy for the detection of coronary artery disease by visualizing the coronary artery lumen using an intravenous contrast agent.\[3\] However to determine the hemodynamical significance of CCTA-identified stenosis, invasive coronary angiography (ICA) with or without functional testing is still required. \[4\] During the ICA as per protocol the complete coronary artery system is visualized again. In patients with abnormalities on CCTA in only one coronary artery, i.e. only the left coronary artery (LCA) or the right coronary artery (RCA), the ICA procedure might be simplified by 'ultraselectively' visualizing only the coronary artery of interest and refraining from angiographic visualization of the contralateral coronary artery without abnormalities on CCTA (with an excellent negative predictive value of 95-99%).\[5-7\] Such an ultraselective strategy might reduce procedure time, usage of catheters, complication risk and the amount of contrast agent and radiation exposure. A recent retrospective study in three hospitals in the Netherlands showed CCTA to be extremely accurate in predicting a normal contralateral coronary artery in patients with coronary artery disease limited to the left or right coronary artery. Therefore, a CCTA-guided ultraselective ICA approach would have been safe and feasible and would have led to a considerable decrease in procedure time and radiation exposure. However, the analysis was hampered by the retrospective design. The potential benefits in salvage of procedure time and radiation exposure might be overestimated and it turned out to be impossible to measure the effects on contrast use, catheter use and procedure costs. Moreover, in the retrospective study only a small portion of the study population had abnormalities in the right coronary artery, thereby questioning the results of this study to safely be extrapolated to this category of patients with abnormalities in the RCA. This dual-center prospective registry study is designed to answer these remaining questions and to further investigate the potential benefit of an ultraselective ICA approach.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Accuracy of CCTA

  The accuracy of CCTA to defer invasive angiography of the contralateral coronary artery, in patients with abnormalities on CCTA limited to either the left or right coronary artery and a normal or minimal abnormal contralateral artery (defined as CAD-RADS 0-1; 0-24% stenosis)

  At the end of the invasive coronary angiography procedure, an average of 25 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Reduction in procedure time

  At the end of the invasive coronary angiography procedure, an average of 25 minutes.

• Reduction in radiation

  At the end of the invasive coronary angiography procedure, an average of 25 minutes

• Reduction in contrast volume

  At the end of the invasive coronary angiography procedure, an average of 25 minutes

• Reduction in catheter usage

  At the end of the invasive coronary angiography procedure, an average of 25 minutes

Study Arms (1)

Study population

All patients eligible for participation in this registry are aged 18-80 years old and undergoing invasive coronary angiography because of abnormalities found on CCTA in either the left or right coronary artery and no or minimal stenosis (CAD-RADS 0-1; 0-24% stenosis) in the contralateral coronary artery. Patients will be asked for written informed consent to register their clinical data in an anonymized database. The period between CCTA and ICA may not exceed 90 days, in order to prevent possible aggravation of coronary artery disease between both examinations.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 80 Years
• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The prospected study population is 250 patients. This study population allows for enough statistical power to answer all endpoints as described above. Due to the fact that only a few patients with abnormalities on the CCTA limited to the RCA were analyzed in the retrospective study, we defined that at least 15% of the patient population must consist of patients with an abnormal RCA on CCTA. In order to reach this distribution, inclusion of patients with abnormalities in the LCA on CCTA may be halted in favor of patients with abnormalities in the RCA.

You may qualify if:

• Patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography because of abnormalities found on CCTA in either the left or right coronary artery and no or minimal stenosis (CAD-RADS 0-1; 0-24% stenosis) in the contralateral coronary artery within 90 days.

You may not qualify if:

• Refusal of informed consent
• Abnormalities in both coronary arteries on CCTA
• Prior PCI
• Prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
• Major allergy to iodinated contrast agent
• Inability to provide informed consent, and/or known pregnancy.
