Challenges in QCA of bifurcation lesions
Author: Goran Stankovic, MD
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
