Despite advances in revascularization therapies, in-stent restenosis remains a key problem. According to the current guidelines, conventional CT imaging is currently not recommended for stent patency evaluation due to resolution limitations and artifacts, especially for stents smaller than 3 mm.
The 0.2 mm slice thickness of NAEOTOM Alpha allows Prof. Alkadhi and Prof. Manka from Universitiy Hospital Zurich, Switzerland, to noninvasively evaluate patients with stents or heaviliy calcified coronary arteries. Prof. Alkadhi believes that ultra-high resolution coronary CTA with NAEOTOM Alpha will soon be the recommended imaging method for coronary stent follow-up.

NAEOTOM Alpha is not commercially available in all countries. Its future availability cannot be guaranteed.
The statements by Siemens Healthineers’ customers described herein are based on results that were achieved in the customer’s unique setting. Because there is no “typical” hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix) there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.
