<P><B>Background</B></P><P>Severe aortic stenosis (AS) patients with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) or left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction are known to have worse outcome.

Echocardiography and CMR images were taken and the patients were divided into groups according to the presence/absence of LGE and of LV systolic dysfunction (LV ejection fraction (EF) <50%).

There was a significant trend towards increasing LV volumes, worsening of LV diastolic function (E/e’, diastolic elastance), systolic function (end-systolic elastance) and LV hypertrophy between the three groups, which coincided with worsening functional capacity (all p-value < 0.001 for trend). Also, significant differences in the above parameters were noted between group 1 and 2 (E/e’, 14.6 ± 4.3 (mean ± standard deviation) in group 1 vs. 18.2 ± 9.4 in group 2; end-systolic elastance, 3.24 ± 2.31 in group 1 vs. 2.38 ± 1.16 in group 2, all p-value < 0.05). The amount of myocardial fibrosis on CMR correlated with parameters of diastolic (diastolic elastance, Spearman’s ρ = 0.256, p-value = 0.005) and systolic function (end-systolic elastance, Spearman’s ρ = -0.359, p-value < 0.001).</P><P><B>Conclusions</B></P><P>These findings demonstrate the usefulness of CMR for early detection of subclinical LV structural and functional deterioration in AS patients.</P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P><B>Objectives</B></P> <P>The aim of this study was to evaluate whether native T1 value of the myocardium on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) could predict clinical events in patients with significant aortic stenosis (AS).</P> <P><B>Background</B></P> <P>Although previous studies have demonstrated the prognostic value of focal fibrosis using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by CMR in AS patients, the prognostic implication of diffuse myocardial fibrosis by noninvasive imaging remains unknown.</P> <P><B>Methods</B></P> <P>A prospective observational longitudinal study was performed in 127 consecutive patients with moderate or severe AS (68.8 ± 9.2 years of age, 49.6% male) and 33 age- and sex-matched controls who underwent 3-T CMR. The degree of diffuse myocardial fibrosis was assessed by noncontrast mapping of T1 relaxation time using modified Look-Locker inversion-recovery sequence, and the presence and extent of LGE were also evaluated. The AS patients were divided into 3 groups by the native T1 value. Primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death and hospitalization for heart failure.</P> <P><B>Results</B></P> <P>Native T1 value was higher in AS patients, compared with control subjects (1,232 ± 53 ms vs. 1,185 ± 37 ms; p = 0.008). During follow-up (median 27.9 months), there were 24 clinical events including 9 deaths (6 pre-operative and 3 post-operative), the majority of which occurred in the patients in the highest T1 tertile group (2.4% vs. 11.6% vs. 42.9% for lowest, mid-, and highest tertile groups; p < 0.001 by log-rank test). The total number of events for both pre- and post-operative events also occurred more frequently in patients in the highest T1 tertile group. EuroSCORE II, the presence and/or extent of LGE, and the native T1 value were predictors of poor prognosis (adjusted hazard ratio for every 20-ms increase of native T1: 1.28; p = 0.003). In particular, the highest native T1 value provided further risk stratification regardless of the presence of LGE.</P> <P><B>Conclusions</B></P> <P>High native T1 value on noncontrast T1 mapping CMR is a novel, independent predictor of adverse outcome in patients with significant AS.</P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>
관상동맥 CT 조영술을 활용한 스텐트 재협착 평가: 과거와 현재 최신 동향으로의 여정

관상동맥병 환자의 치료에 풍선팽창스텐트 치료는 현재 가장 흔히 시행되는 관상동맥재개통 치료법이다. 그러나 경피적 관상동맥 중재술 이후 재협착은 여전히 주요 합병증으로 남아 있다. 스텐트 재협착을 진단하기 위한 도구로서 관상동맥 CT 조영술(coronary CT angiography; 이하 CCTA)는 과거에는 주로 번짐허상과 움직임허상으로 인해 내강을 정확히 판단하기 어려워 그 역할이 제한적이었다. 따라서 정확한 확인을 위해서 침습적인 고식적 관상동맥 조영술로 넘어가는 경우가 많았다. 그러나 근래 CT 기술의 발달로 민감도와 특이도가 모두 개선되면서 그 역할이 중요해지고 있으며, 특히 일관되게 음성예측도가 높게 보고되고 있다. 본 종설에서는 CCTA를 이용한 관상동맥 스텐트 재협착 진단의 과거와 현재, 그리고 최신 동향에 대해 알아보고자 한다. Treatment of patients with coronary artery disease commonly involves the use of balloon-expandable stent placements, currently recognized as the most prevalent approach for coronary artery revascularization. Nevertheless, the occurrence of restenosis remains a significant complication following percutaneous coronary interventions. The diagnostic role of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in detecting stent restenosis has limitations primarily attributable to challenges in accurately discerning the lumen, due to issues such as blooming and motion artifacts. As a result, many cases often necessitate a transition to conventional coronary angiography. However, recent advancements in CT technology have led to notable improvements in both sensitivity and specificity, underscoring the growing significance of CCTA as a diagnostic tool. The consistent reporting of high negative predictive value is particularly noteworthy. This review aims to explore the historical context, current status, and recent trends in diagnosing coronary artery stent restenosis using CCTA.
