Abstract

Although conventional coronary angiography is used to evaluate the patency of coronary artery bypass grafts, it is invasive and has associated risks. The evolution of the multidetector CT (MDCT) has enabled accurate, noninvasive visualization of graft patency. This article identifies and describes typical MDCT findings in bypass grafts and native coronary arteries.
