In the pre-operative patients, the non-invasive CCT strategy for the CAD assessment is feasible and it reduces significantly the number of ICA procedures. The non-invasive CCT strategy reduces significantly the costs, radio exposure and CO2 emissions. The adoption of this non-invasive preoperative strategy proves advantageous not only clinically, but also economically, radiologically and from an environmental point of view, offering a safer and more sustainable model of care.
Limitation
This is a single-center prospective survey, which could inherently introduce a center-specific bias. In addition, the limited number of patients evaluated is another limiting factor.
A multicenter study on a larger study population is recommended.
