Non-contrast computed tomography findings for identification of chronically occluded coronary artery bypass grafts

CONCLUSION: Evaluation of coronary bypass grafts for chronic occlusion on non-contrast CT based off vessel morphology is feasible and accurate for venous grafts. Potential use cases include low-intermediate risk patients with chest pain or shortness of breath for whom non-contrast CT was ordered, or administration of iodine-based contrast is contraindicated.PMID:37649280 | DOI:10.1177/02841851231196873
