A single-session CT angiography protocol for extracoronary vascular abnormality screening in spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD)
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a single-acquisition CTA protocol for EVA detection in patients with SCAD. The SS-CTA protocol minimized radiation and contrast exposure for a patient population that may require frequent imaging over the lifespan. Further studies are needed to determine whether expanded availability of this protocol would improve adherence to expert consensus recommendations.
