A study from a Korean group examined the role of cardiac CT performed after coronary artery bypass stenting (CABG) in evaluating the risk for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and all-cause death (ACD). The functional cardiac parameters measured by CT were comparable with echocardiography, allowing prediction of the occurrence of MACE and ACD.
