Abstract

Background: The new Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) is useful in visualization of complex coronary artery anatomy. We investigated usefulness comparing of invasive coronary angiography with noninvasive MDCT in judgment of functional degree of coronary arteries grafts after coronary artery bypass graft operation. Material and Method: We analyzed the patency of 52 conduits from 15 patients whom consented to take both 32 Channel MDCT and coronary angiography from November 2003 to November 2004. Comparisons were performed for sensitivity, specificity, positive prediction value and negative prediction value between coronary angiography and 3 dimensional reconstruction image using MDCT. Result: The average graft used was 3.4 $\pm$ 0.8 per patient. Average heart rate during MDCT was 86/minute (Range, 60$\∼$110/minute) without administration of $\beta$-blocker. All patients could hold breath as much as necessary. The average graft patency obtained through corollary angiography was 96.2$\%$. In MDCT group, the sensitivity, the specificity, the positive predictive value and the negative predictive value for diagnosis was 100$\%$, 98.0$\%$, 100$\%$ and 66.6$\%$ respectively. Conclusion: The effectiveness of 32 Channel MDCT may be compared to coronary angiography in grasping about patency and bloodstream of graft conduits after coronary artery bypass graft. Also MDCT has the advantage of noninvasiveness and inexpensiveness compared to coronary angiography.

배경: 새로 나온 다절편 전산화흥부단층촬영(Multidetector Computed Tomography: MDCT)은 관상동맥 영상화에 유용하다. 본 교실에서는 관상동맥우회로 술을 시행한 환자에서 술 후 관상동맥 이식편의 평가를 위하여 비침습적 MDCT와 기존의 침습적 관상동맥조영 술의 유용성을 비교하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2003년 11월부터 2004년 11월까지 관상동맥우회로 술을 시행한 후 16 Channel MDCT와 관상동맥조영 술 모두에 동의한 15명을 대상으로 52개의 이식편의 개존성을 분석하였다. MDCT를 이용하여 3차원으로 재조합된 영상과 관상동맥조영술을 통해 얻은 영상을 비교하여 민감도, 특이도, 양성 예측치, 음성 예측치 등을 계산하였다 결과: 환자당 평균 3.4$\pm$0.8개의 도관을 사용하였다. MDCT 도중 환자들의 평균 심박동수는 86회/분(범위, 60$\∼$110회/분)이어서 베타차단제는 사용하지 않았다. 모든 환자들이 필요한 시간만큼 호흡을 참을 수 있었다. 관상동맥조영 술을 통해 얻은 전체 이식편 개존율은 96.2$\%$였다. MDCT의 진단력은 민감도 100$\%$,특이도 98.0$\%$, 양성 예측치 100$\%$,음성 예측치 66$\%$였다. 결론: 관상동맥우회로 술 후 16 Channel MDCT는 기존의 관상동맥조영 술과 비교하여 이식편의 개존상태와 혈류 정도 파악에 신뢰할 수 있는 수준이며, 비침습적이며 저렴하므로 관상동맥조영 술을 대체할 수 있을 것이다.
