MSCT angiography may support noninvasive coronary evaluation preoperatively; leaves open need for larger prospective validation.
Does multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) angiography provide accurate diagnostic information compared to conventional angiography in patients undergoing noncoronary cardiac surgery?
MSCT angiography has high sensitivity and specificity for evaluating coronary artery disease in patients undergoing noncoronary cardiac surgery, offering a non-invasive alternative for perioperative risk stratification.
