Evaluation of ascending aortic atherosclerosis with 16-multidetector computed tomography is useful before total endoscopic coronary bypass surgery

The purpose of this study was to investigate the assessment of ascending aortic atherosclerosis with 16-multidetector computed tomography (16-MDCT) angiography prior to total endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) surgery. Forty-five patients were examined with electrocardiogram-gated, 16-MDCT an...

Zusammenfassung:	The purpose of this study was to investigate the assessment of ascending aortic atherosclerosis with 16-multidetector computed tomography (16-MDCT) angiography prior to total endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) surgery. Forty-five patients were examined with electrocardiogram-gated, 16-MDCT angiography. The presence of atherosclerosis at the ascending aorta was graduated as severe (>50% of circumference) or as mild (
