Abstract

The aim of the present study was to compare the accuracy of 64-multi-slice spiral computed tomography (64-MSCT) and 320-MSCT in the display of coronary artery stents and diagnosis of in‑stent restenosis. The data collected from the 64- and 320-MSCT coronary angiography of 93 patients following coronary artery stent implantation were retrospectively analyzed. The 64‑MSCT group comprised 30 cases with 57 stents and the 320‑MSCT group comprised 63 cases with 93 stents. The image quality, heart rate of the patients and the radiation effective dose (ED) they were subjected to, were compared. Furthermore, the diagnostic abilities of 64‑and 320‑MSCT coronary angiography for in‑stent restenosis were evaluated using invasive coronary angiography results as the gold standards. Statistically significant differences were observed in the heart rate and ED of the patients from the two groups (P<0.05), but no significant difference was identified in the accuracy index (P>0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value and accuracy of the 64‑MSCT group were found to be 100% (7/7), 93.94% (31/33), 77.78% (7/9), 100% (31/31) and 95% (38/40), respectively, and those in the 320‑MSCT group were found to be 100% (16/16), 95.89% (70/73), 84.21% (16/19), 100% (70/70) and 96.63% (86/89), respectively. The present findings suggest that both 64‑MSCT and 320‑MSCT can be used for follow‑up and curative effect evaluation following coronary stent implantation; however, 320‑MSCT has fewer requirements of the patients' heart rate and uses a lower radiation dose.
