Abstract:
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.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
