Abstract

This article reviews the clinical value of noninvasive multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) angiography before and after totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass surgery. The use of coronary and aorto-iliaco-femoral MSCT angiography in the preoperative assessment is addressed and the use of bypass MSCT angiography for postoperative control of bypass graft patency is discussed.
