Should we Avoid Performing Invasive Coronary Angiography Before Cardiac Surgery in ACHD Patients?

Should we Avoid Performing Invasive Coronary Angiography Before Cardiac Surgery in ACHD (Adult Congenital Heart Disease) Patients? The SPARE Observational Study


Sponsor

IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna

Enrollment

80 participants

Start Date

Jan 8, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare two pre-operative methods, that is the Invasive Coronary Angiography (ICA), an actual standard diagnostic method, with the Coronary Computer Tomography (CCT) to undestand if the only CCT is sufficent to confirm the presence of a significative coronary disease and so to identify possible lesions in the coronary ematic circle, for example: stenosis and narrowing of coronary vessels. This observational study included people who have a congenital heart desease with indication of cardiac surgery and, why this disease, who had already performed these two diagnostic methods and/or who will perform them. The main question it aims to answer is: Should we avoid performing invasive coronary angiography (ICA) before cardiac surgery in people who have congenital heart desease (ACHD patients)?
