Overview
This clinical trial aims to compare non-invasive photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) with invasive intravascular imaging (IVI) for post-interventional follow-up in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Participants will undergo post-interventional follow-up using both PCD-CT and coronary angiography with IVI. Researchers will test qualitative and quantitative PCD-CT results for non-inferiority to IVI regarding stent evaluation and detection of in-stent restenosis and plaque morphology.
Interventions
- Diagnostic test Photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT)
Patients undergoing follow-up coronary angiography with IVI after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as part of routine clinical practice will additionally receive coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) with PCD as part of this study.
Primary outcome measures
- Quantitative comparison of PCD-CT and IVI in stent evaluation [Time frame: Within 1 year]
- Qualitative comparison of PCD-CT and IVI in stent evaluation [Time frame: Within 1 year]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Quantitative comparison of PCD-CT and IVI for the evaluation of in-stent restenosis [Time frame: Within 1 year]
- Quantitative comparison of PCD-CT and IVI for the evaluation of plaque morphology [Time frame: Within 1 year]
- Qualitative comparison of PCD-CT and IVI for the evaluation of in-stent restenosis and plaque morphology [Time frame: Within 1 year]
