Prognostic Utility of Nodular Calcification Detected on Non-Contrast Computed Tomography in Severely Calcified Coronary Lesions

Prognostic Utility of Nodular Calcification Detected on Non-Contrast Computed Tomography in Severely Calcified Coronary Lesions

Among patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) scheduled for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of severely calcified lesions, calcified nodules (CNs) detected on preprocedural non-contrast computed tomography (CT) were independent predictors of adverse outcomes, Dr. Seigo Iwane and colleagues, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Japan, reported in the August issue of Circulation Journal.

The researchers retrospectively evaluated 267 consecutive CCS patients who underwent electrocardiogr...
