Abstract

Purpose. To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of multislice computed tomography coronary angiography (MSCT-CA) in the detection of in-stent restenosis. Materials and methods. Forty-two patients (33 male, 9 female, mean age 58±8 years) previously subjected to percutaneous implantation of coronary stent with suspected in-stent restenosis, underwent a 16-row MSCT (Sensation 16, Siemens) examination. The average time between stent implantation and MSCT-CA was 7.4±5.3 months. The following scan parameters were used: collimation 16×0.75 mm, rotation time 0.42 s, feed 3.0 mm/rot., kV 120, mAs 500. After administration of iodinated contrast material (Iomeprol 400 mgI/ml, 100 ml at 4 ml/s) and bolus chaser (40 ml of saline at 4 ml/s) the scan was completed in
