Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In 45 patients with coronary bypass grafts, the breath-hold interval with and that without preoxygenation was measured. Its effect on depiction of the distal graft anastomosis at electron-beam tomography was evaluated. Preoxygenation prolonged the breath-hold interval in most patients, thereby allowing greater anatomic coverage including more distal anastomoses. Preoxygenation may improve scanning of coronary bypass grafts and increase detectability of graft stenoses.
