    Abstract:
    The aim of the study was to determine the variables associated with high-quality (HQ) versus low-quality (LQ) three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) and create guides for optimization of approach to 3DRA in congenital cardiac catheterization (CCC). CCC has adopted 3DRA as a mainstay, but there has not been systematic analysis of approach to and factors associated with HQ 3DRA. This was a single-center, retrospective study of 3DRAs using Canon Infinix-I platform. Reconstructions were graded by 3 interventionalists. Quality was dichotomized into HQ and LQ. Univariable analyses and multivariable logistic regression models were performed. From 8/2016 to 12/2018, 208 3DRAs were performed in 195 CCCs; median age 7 years (2, 16), weight 23 kg (12, 57). The majority of 3DRAs were performed in patients with biventricular physiology (N = 137, 66%) and in pulsatile sites (N = 144, 69%). HQ 3DRA (N = 182, 88%) was associated with greater total injection volume [2.20 mL/kg (1.44, 3.29) vs. 1.62 mL/kg (1.10, 1.98), p = 0.005] and more dilute contrast solution [60% (50, 100) vs. 100% (60, 100), p = 0.007], but not with contrast volume administered (p = 0.2) on univariable analysis. On multivariable logistic regression, HQ 3DRA was significantly associated with patient weight [OR 0.97 (95% CI (0.94, 0.99), p = 0.018], total injection volume [OR 1.04 (95% CI 1.01, 1.07) p = 0.011], and percent contrast solution [OR 0.97 (95% CI 0.95, 1.00), p = 0.022]. These data resulted in creation of scatter plots and a novel 3DRA Nomogram for estimating the probability of HQ 3DRA. This is the first study to create evidence-based contrast dose guides and nomogram for 3DRA in CCC. HQ 3DRA was associated with lower weight, higher total injection volumes, and more dilute contrast solution.
