چکیده

Contrast-enhanced 16-slice multi-detector row spiral computed tomography (MDCT) has been shown to be useful for non-invasive visualization of aortocoronary bypass grafts (CABG). This new-generation scanner could be a good alternative to the common invasive coronary angiography. In this article, we report a patient operated on with the St. Jude Medical, Inc, Symmetry Bypass System (Aortic Connector System [ACS]) and subsequently studied by MDCT.

Detection of coronary artery stenoses with thin-slice multi-detector row spiral computed tomography and multiplanar reconstruction.

BACKGROUND We analyzed the accuracy of multi-detector row spiral computed tomography (MDCT) using a 16-slice CT scanner with improved spatial and temporal resolution, as well as routine premedication with beta-blockers for detection of coronary stenoses. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-seven patients with suspected coronary disease were studied by MDCT (12x0.75-mm cross-sections, 420 ms rotation,...
