Comparison of myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography with coronary artery angiography after arterial switch operation

Sixty-one thallium-201 myocardial single-photon emission computed tomograms were compared with coronary artery angiograms in patients with transposition of the great arteries after the arterial switch operation. The specificity and sensitivity of myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography...

Description
Summary:Sixty-one thallium-201 myocardial single-photon emission computed tomograms were compared with coronary artery angiograms in patients with transposition of the great arteries after the arterial switch operation. The specificity and sensitivity of myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography for predicting coronary artery lesions were 78% and 69%, respectively, whereas positive and negative predictive values were 74% and 73%.
