CT angio for the evaluation of graft patency. J Thorac Dis. 2017 Apr;9(Suppl 4):S283-S288 Authors: Di Lazzaro D, Crusco F Abstract Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is the traditional method for the follow-up of graft patency in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. Nevertheless, the advent of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) opened new perspectives for using a noninvasive, equally reliable method to study CABG patients. This review article will analyze the current feasibility of modern multi-slice MDCT, as well as its future perspectives. PMID: 28540071 [PubMed - in process]
