SUMMARY OF Ph.D.THESIS
Since the first application of the percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
in 1977, the spread of the method has been vey rapid.
The aim of the present study was to assess the change in myocardial perfusion
and mobility in patients with coronary artery disease subjected to angioplasty, by
using myocardial SPECT imaging (with 201Tl or 99mTc-tetrofosmin) both at stress and
rest radioisotopic ventriculography (at rest and after isometric exercise). Forty-one
patients (38 men and 3 women) of age ranging from 35 to 70 years were studied.
Twenty-one patients had one-vessel disease and were subjected to successful
revascularization of the stenosed artery, 16 had two-vessel disease and were
subjected to one-stenosed vessel angioplasty and 4 patients had 3-vessel disease.
From the patients were subjected to one-vessel revascularization and one was
subjected to 2-vessel re-opening. Sixteen of the patients had mentioned myocardial
infarction in their history.
All the patients were examined, the month prior to angioplasty, by using
myocardial tomographic imaging (29 with 201Tl and 12 99mTc-tetrofosmin), both at
stress and rest and radioisotopic ventriculography-MUGA-(at rest and after isometric
exercise). An angiographic checking was done to all patients prior to intervention.
The function of the left ventricle, using radioisotopic ventriculography (at rest and
after isometric exercise) was assessed 4±1 weeks after revascularization. Besides,
a myocardial SPECT using 201Tl or 99mTc-tetrofosmin, at stress and rest,
respectively, as well as radioisotopic ventriculography (at rest and after isometric
exercise) 6±1 months after angioplasty, was performed. One patient who did not any
improvement of the total as well as regional wall motion of the left ventricle in the
month’s checking, was sublected to myocardial SPECT imaging two months after
the revascularization. Five patients who did not show improvement in the ejection
fraction and the myocardial imaging 6 months after angioplasty, were again subjects
to coronary angiography 7±1 months after the intervention. One patient, despite the
improvement of the perfusion and the function of the left ventricle, as it was
assessed by the above tests, was still complaining for precardiac distress and, for

this reason, he was subjected to coronary angiographic checking seven months
after the intervention.
The vast majority of the patients showed an improvement both in the
symptomatology and in the efficiency at the stress testing, following angioplasty. We
found a strong correlation between the findings of the tomographic scan of
myocardium with 201Tl and the coronary angiography prior to angioplasty with
sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value: for the
left arterior descending artery 96%, 75%, 96% 75%, for the left circumflex artery
60%, 100%, 100%, 79% and for the right coronary artery 100%, 70.5%, 70.5%, and
100%. Satisfactory were also the findings with analogous study conducted by us in
52 patients that compared the results of the tomographic myocardial scan with
99mTc-tetrofosmin with the coronary angiographic checking with sensitivity, specificity,
positive predictive value and negative predictive value: for the left anterior
descending artery 91.1%, 83.3%, 88.5%, 83.3%, for the left circumflex artery 72.2%,
88.2%, 76.4%, 85.7% and for the right coronary artery 90.6%, 80%, 87.8% and
84.2%. Twenty-five (86.2%) of the 29 patients who were examined with 201Tl and 11
(91.6%) of the 12 patients who were checked with 99mTc-tetrofosmin showed
improvement of the myocardial image, at about 6 months after the intervention,
whereas the rest (5 patients) were subjected again to coronary angiography which
confirmed the existence of restenosis. All the patiens showed improvement in the
total and regional wall motion of the left ventricle, 1 month after the re-perfusion,
except one to whom it was proven the existence of re-stenosis 6 months after the
intervention. The improvement in the general and regional ejection fraction
remained 6 months following angioplasty to most patients, accordingly to the
myocardial scan improvement. Finally, there was a significant improvement to the
“cardiopulmonary index’’ (in those patients who were examined with 201Tl) as well as
of PER and PFR indices, of the curve indicating volume change of the left ventricle.
The vast majority of the patients subjected to angioplasty, display significant
improvement not only to perfusion but also to the function of the left ventricle
myocardium. The radioisotopic techniques (tomographic scan with 201Tl and 99mTc-
tetrofosmin and radioisotopic ventriculography), consist important and non-invasive
methods for assessing and monitoring of the aforementioned patients.
