CT coronary angiograms are increasing in popularity as a non-invasive screening test for detecting blocks in coronary arteries. Coronary arteries are blood vessels supplying oxygenated blood to the heart. Angiograms are images of blood vessels, usually obtained by injecting medications for contrast from body structures.

A CTCA provides much more anatomical detail and can identify advanced plaque often missed by CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score scans alone. CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score Scan CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score CT Coronary Angiogram As you can see from the above images, the CTCA provides far more anatomical detail.

A CT Coronary angiogram was ordered. Here are the results: --Minimally obstructive coronary artery disease. --LAD LAD plaque with 0-25 percent stenosis. Although a lesion is not visible anatomically on this CT scan, coronary catheter angiography could be considered based on Cardiology evaluation."

Background:Heavily calcified coronary bifurcation lesions present significant challenges during percutaneous coronary intervention, particularly during atherectomy due to the risk of side branch occlusion from plaque shift. Case:A 74-year-old male with a recent NSTEMI presented for elective coronary artery revascularization.

The scan also showed “scattered coronary artery plaques”. __ Smith comment 1 : the appropriate management at this point is to lower the blood pressure (lower afterload, which increases myocardial oxygen demand). Smith comment : Is the ACS (rupture plaque) with occlusion that is now reperfusing?
