Aim: To evaluate characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques (ASP) remaining after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

Material And Methods: Among 249 patients (193 men) with ACS aged 58±10 years, 183 (73.5%) had myocardial infarction, 66 (26.

Aim      To create a three-dimensional mathematical model of coronary flow in patients with ischemic heart disease based on findings of computed tomography angiography (CTA) with subsequent calculation of the fractional flow reserve (FFRCTA) and comparison of estimated FFRCTA with FFR reference values measured by coronary angiography (CAG).Material and methods  The study included 10 patients with borderline stenosis (50-75 %) as determined by CTA performed with a 640‑slice CT-scanner. Based on CTA findings, three-dimensional mathematical models were constructed for further calculation of FFRCTA.

Aim      To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of cardiac perfusion computed tomography (PCT) with transesophageal electrocardiostimulation (TE ECS) for detection of ischemia in patients with borderline coronary stenosis (50-75 %) compared to measurements of fractional flow reserve (FFR).Material and methods  The study included 25 patients with borderline (50-75 %) coronary stenosis as per data of computed tomography angiography (CTA) or coronary angiography (CAG). Later the patients underwent invasive measurement of FFR and cardiac PCT on a 320-row detector tomograph in combination with the TE ECS stress test.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the structural characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques in patients with acute coronary syndrome using coronary computed tomography arteriography (CCTA) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
  • Out of 37 patients, IVUS identified 45 unstable atherosclerotic plaques (UASP), including cases of rupture and thin-cap fibroatheromas, but no significant differences were found in plaque characteristics based on symptoms.
  • Key findings showed that irregular plaque contours and low-density patches were significantly more prevalent in UASP compared to stable plaques, increasing the likelihood of plaque instability.
