However, its clinical value in the early postoperative setting has not been established yet. We evaluated the benefit of adding CTA to the routine clinical work-up after CABG on patient management.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 305 consecutive patients (269 males, median age 68\u2009years) underwent CABG and postoperative CTA with a median of 6\u2009days after surgery. Graft patency and additional imaging findings were assessed and their influence on diagnosis and clinical management was evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Graft occlusion or high-grade stenosis was found in 15% of the patients. Additional findings were reported in 44% of the patients, including pericardial (2%) and pleural effusion (27%), large pneumothorax (11%), pulmonary infection (4%), cardiac or vascular thrombus (2%), pulmonary embolism (2%), sternal dehiscence (1%) and additional incidental findings requiring follow-up (6%). CT findings initiated new diagnostic and\/or therapeutic measures in 15% of the patients, 47% of those with diseased grafts and 19% of patients with non-graft-related findings. No adverse events related to CTA were documented.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n
