The role of coronary artery bypass surgery as a key foundation in the therapy of coronary artery disease remains unchanged: in Germany in 2001, 75,537 coronary bypass procedures were performed. However, the endurance of coronary bypass grafts is limited: after 3 years, 20-30% of the bypass grafts have occluded. The myocardial infarct rate significantly increases 8 years after bypass surgery. Since the clinical outcome of the patients is closely related to the patency rate of their bypass grafts, it would be important for the patients to have the patency rate of their bypass grafts assessed on time to detect any occluded bypass grafts before the majority of the grafts become occluded. Recently, multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) offers an attractive tool for this purpose. This paper describes our first experiences with MSCT in our cardiology practice and regards whether this new method provides relevant information for a cardiology practice.
