Evaluation of Coronary Artery Bypass by CT Coronary Angiography

Abstract: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is an accurate method for graft imaging and assessment than invasive coronary angiography (ICA). CTA has excellent sensitivity and specificity. The chapter describes the role of CTA in evaluation of coronary bypass graft. It covers the appropriate indications for performing CTA after bypass operation, patient preparation, as well as protocol and technique of CTA. The chapter describes the post-examination processing of the images and how to interpret CTA images f… Show more

“…It has traditionally been estimated to range between 40% and 60% at 10-12 years. 11 Study show that evaluation of coronary bypass grafts by CTA is highly accurate in predicting the findings seen on ICA with a meta-analysis, of 16-and 64-slice CTAs quoting a sensitivity of 98% and specificity of 97% for graft stenosis or occlusion. 12 Table-IV: Cardiac CT review methodology.…”
