Long-term coronary artery graft patency as evaluated by 64-slice coronary computed tomographic angiography.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Coronary artery ectasia has been defined as localized or diffuse nonobstructive lesions of the epicardial coronary arteries with a luminal dilation exceeding the 1.5-fold of normal adjacent segment or vessel diameter. Although coronary artery disease is supposed to be responsible for more than 50% of coronar...
