CTCA Prior to Invasive Coronary Angiography in Patients With Previous Bypass Surgery: Patient-Related Outcomes, Imaging Resource Utilization, and Cardiac Events at 3 Years From the BYPASS-CTCA Trial. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The BYPASS-CTCA trial found that using computed tomography cardiac angiography (CTCA) prior to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in patients with previous bypass surgery reduces procedure time and the risk of kidney injury, improving patient satisfaction.
  • In this study, 688 patients were divided into two groups: one receiving CTCA before ICA and the other receiving ICA alone, with follow-up averaging 3 years.
  • Results showed that although benefits like being angina-free and improved quality of life were seen at 3 months, long-term outcomes showed CTCA/ICA patients had lower imaging resource use and fewer major adverse cardiac events compared to those who only had ICA.

Article Abstract

Background: In patients with previous coronary artery bypass grafting, computed tomography cardiac angiography (CTCA) before invasive coronary angiography (ICA) was demonstrated in the BYPASS-CTCA trial (Randomized Controlled Trial to Assess Whether Computed Tomography Cardiac Angiography Can Improve Invasive Coronary Angiography in Bypass Surgery Patients) to reduce procedure time and incidence of contrast-associated acute kidney injury, with greater levels of patient satisfaction. Patient-related outcomes, utilization of further diagnostic imaging resources, and longer-term incidence of major adverse cardiac events were key secondary end points not yet reported.

Methods: Patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting referred for ICA were randomized 1:1 to undergo CTCA before ICA or ICA alone and followed up for a median of 3 (2.2-3.4) years. Angina status was assessed using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire and overall quality of life using the EQ-5D-5L. The incidence of noninvasive imaging use and major adverse cardiac events were compared between the 2 groups.

Results: In all, 688 patients were randomized, 344 to CTCA+ICA and 344 to ICA only. The mean age of participants was 69.8 years, with 45% undergoing ICA for acute coronary syndromes and the remainder stable angina. At 3 months follow-up, patients in the CTCA+ICA group were more likely to be angina-free (51.7% versus 43.2%; =0.03) with greater quality of life (EQ-5D-5L index, 81.6 versus 74.4; =0.001), although these improvements did not persist. At 3 years follow-up, imaging resource use (35.8% versus 45.1%; odds ratio, 0.68 [95% CI, 0.50-0.92]; =0.013) and incidence of major adverse cardiac events were lower in the CTCA+ICA group (35.8% versus 43.5%; hazard ratio, 0.73 [95% CI, 0.58-0.93]; =0.010).

Conclusions: In patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting undergoing ICA, CTCA before ICA leads to reductions in the use of imaging resources and the rate of major cardiac events out to 3 years, but with similar patient-related outcome measures. Together with the initial findings of BYPASS-CTCA, these data are supportive of routinely undertaking a CTCA before ICA in patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting.
