Abstract
Objective: To compare multidetector row computed tomographic (MDCT) angiography with conventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in the evaluation of vascular access stenoses in hemodialysis patients. Materials and methods: Twenty-one consecutive patients were imaged with MDCT angiography and subsequent DSA. The superficial vein of leg was used as the route for intravenous administration. The vascular stenosis was assessed in not significant ( < 50% stenosis), moderate stenosis (50%-74% stenosis), severe stenosis (75%-99%), and total occlusion (100%). The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive, and negative predictive values were calculated for significant vascular stenosis using DSA as the standard reference. Results: The sensitivity and specificity of MDCT angiography for the detection of significant hemodialysis vascular access were 100% (95% CI, 89.3%-100%) and 94.8% (95% CI, 89.1%-97.6%), respectively. The positive and negative predictive values were 84.2% (95% CI, 68.1%-93.4%) and 100% (95% CI, 95.8%-100%), respectively. The accuracy of MDCT angiography for detection of significant stenoses was 95.9% (95% CI, 91.4%-97.0%). Conclusions: MDCT angiography provides excellent correlation in vascular stenosis as compared with DSA in hemodialysis access. Complete assessment of entire vascular segments could be performing with MDCT angiography in planning before endovascular intervention or surgical correction. © The Author(s) 2011.
