View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a coronary computed tomography angiography (CTCA)-guided strategy can reduce the risk of death, heart attack, stroke, and hospital admissions in patients experiencing angina or myocardial infarction following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can CTCA reduce major adverse cardiovascular events compared to standard invasive coronary angiography? * Is CTCA a cost-effective and safer alternative that improves patient quality of life? Researchers will compare outcomes between patients receiving CTCA prior to angiography and those undergoing standard angiography alone to determine if CTCA improves clinical outcomes and procedural safety. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either CTCA-guided care or standard angiography * Undergo coronary imaging and follow-up assessments * Complete questionnaires on quality of life and healthcare resource use
