Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in Combination with Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring for the Preoperative Cardiac Evaluation of Liver Transplant Recipients

Figure 1

Three-dimensional volume-rendered images (a, c, e, g, and i) and angiographic images (b, d, f, h, and j) of the coronary artery obtained using computed tomographic angiography in patients undergoing liver transplantation. ((a) and (b)) CACS = 0 (absent); ((c) and (d)) CACS = 9 (minimal); ((e) and (f)) CACS = 95 (mild); ((g) and (h)) CACS = 279 (moderate); ((i) and (j)) CACS = 5210 (extensive). Arrows indicate coronary calcified plaques. A, aorta; B, left main coronary artery; C, left anterior descending artery; D, left circumflex artery; E, right coronary artery. CACS, coronary artery calcium score.
