OBJECTIVE: Grafts initially showing poor patency after coronary artery bypass grafting have
occasionally shown improvement on serial multidetector computed tomography. This study …

Background Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is the standard of care in the
treatment of advanced coronary artery disease, and its long-term results are affected by the …

Objective: Coronary angiography (CAG) is the gold standard method in evaluating graft
patency following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), even though there are several …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of target vessel characteristics
on radial artery patency when used as a composite T graft. Methods: Between October 1993 …

Objective: To investigate the ability of 16‐slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT)
to assess coronary artery bypass graft patency and to detect bypass stenosis by comparison …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to present radial and saphenous vein graft (SVG)
occlusion results more than 5 years following coronary artery bypass surgery. Background …

BACKGROUND: CT angiography is now available to evaluate the early graft patency after
coronary bypass surgery. We investigated whether patency or occlusion of the bypass grafts …

Background—Little information exists regarding mid-term and long-term patency of radial
artery grafts. Methods and Results—We performed restudy coronary angiography at 5.2±0.4 …

Background Invasive coronary angiography is the gold standard means of imaging bypass
vessels and carries a small but potentially serious risk of local vascular complications …

Background Graft stenosis may be associated with future graft failure. The purpose of this
investigation was to compare graft stenosis between radial artery (RA) grafts and saphenous …
