CT Angiography for the Detection of Coronary Artery Stenoses in Patients Referred for Cardiac Valve Surgery

This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) for detecting coronary artery stenoses in patients with valvular heart disease undergoing valve surgery. Coronary CTA is currently not routinely recommended for detecting coronary artery stenoses before cardiac valve surgery. However, recent improvements in computed tomography technology may enable the identification of the most appropriate...
