BACKGROUND: The accurate evaluation of carotid artery stenoses is important for therapeutic decision making. Catheter digital subtraction angiography (DSA) still represents the gold standard, while the advent of multislice CT (MSCT) has led to improved temporal and spatial resolutions of CTA.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: In a pilot study, we investigated 14 diseased vessels in 9 symptomatic patients (7m, 2f; mean age 60.7+/-10,9 years) comparing biplanar DSA with standardized 16-slice MS-CTA. The degree of stenosis was evaluated in a consensus reading following modified NASCET criteria.
RESULTS: DSA demonstrated 4 occlusions, 5 high-grade stenoses (>70%) and 5 lower-grade stenoses (<70%). One dissecting, infrapetrous stenosis was not adequately quantified by CTA due to a close topographic relation to the skull base. In the carotid bifurcation (n=13), an excellent correlation was demonstrated between DSA and CTA with a correlation coefficient of 0.99.
CONCLUSION: MS-CTA has a good diagnostic potential in the evaluation of carotid artery stenoses. Larger studies will need to demonstrate the relative diagnostic value for different subtypes of stenosis and for different reader experience levels.
