Graft failure prior to discharge after coronary artery bypass surgery: a prospective single-centre study using dual 64-slice computed tomography

Abstract

The results demonstrate that the in-hospital acute graft failure rate is 3.4% (6.8% of patients). Multi-slice computed tomography is a robust technique to assess novel therapies to reduce the rate of graft attrition further, and might be clinically useful in patients with persistent or early recurrence of symptoms after CABG.
