Abstract

Standard open chest Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) has evolved over last couple of decades. With advancement in minimally invasive procedures, Robotic CABG (RCABG) is still in its evolution phase. There is dearth of experienced surgeons in this complicated field and lack of data to verify it clinical safety. in this review, we intend to describe the utility of Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) in assessment of graft anatomy and quality, grafting strategy, distal graft anastomosis site evaluation and detection of complications associated with RCABG. CCTA appears to provide valuable information regarding the visualization of grafts, target coronary arteries and other cardiac and non-cardiac structures.
