Description
Khaled Elmaghraby, Salwa Demitry, Eman Hasaballah, and Nady Razik compare scan types for checking heart bypass grafts, in a study from 2023. Whether grafts stay open decides long-term success after bypass surgery. The standard check threads a tube into the heart, which is invasive.
Forty patients with symptoms after surgery had both a multi-slice scan and the invasive check within one month. The scan assessed many native vessels and grafts and matched the invasive results well. It also found grafts the invasive route could not reach and used far less radiation. The authors call the scan a reliable non-invasive option.
