Description

Computer tomography is a non-invasive method for demonstrating occlusion or patency of an aortocoronary bypass. The early results of computer tomographic investigations of 77 bypasses in 51 patients are described. CT diagnosis of bypass patency is well established, but further work will be required to determine the accuracy of computer tomographic diagnosis of bypass occlusion. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die Computertomographie ermoeglicht es, nicht-invasiv den Verschluss oder die Durchstroemung aortokoronarer Bypaesse nachzuweisen. Es werden die Fruehergebnisse der computertomographischen Untersuchungen von 77 Bypaessen bei 51 Patienten mit aortokoronarem Bypass demonstriert. Waehrend die CT-Diagnose der normalen Bypassdurchstroemung methodisch gut abgesichert erscheint, bedarf es noch weiterer koronarographischer Kontrolluntersuchungen zur Festlegung der Wertigkeit der computertomographischen Diagnose eines Bypassverschlusses.
