Overview

May support MDCT for noninvasive CABG graft surveillance; leaves open need for prospective validation trials.

Structured PICO

Does multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) reliably evaluate graft patency in CABG patients compared to invasive coronary angiography?

P
Population
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients
I
Intervention
Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT)
C
Comparator

O
Outcome
Evaluation of graft patency

MDCT is reviewed as a feasible, noninvasive alternative to invasive coronary angiography for assessing graft patency in CABG patients.
