Dedicated Software for Bifurcation QCA: Pie Medical (CAAS 5.9) and MEDIS (QAngio XA 7.2.34.0) Validation on Phantom analysis
Author: Chrysafios Girasis, MD, Patrick W. Serruys, MD PhD, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, Cardialysis B.V., Rotterdam, Cardiovascular Research Foundation, New York
CONCLUSION
- Accuracy and precision for MLD and DS comparable between softwares, marginally better for CAAS 5.9
- Increased variability with QAngio XA 7.2 due to higher need for contour amendment
- Dedicated algorithm for bifurcation angle calculation available only in CAAS 5.9
- QAngio XA Y-shape analysis performance undetected
