[Medical follow-up of aortocoronary bypass surgery in ambulatory care].
Aortocoronary bypass graft surgery is a well-established treatment for coronary artery disease. Objective evaluation of the salutary effect of this procedure is usually by coronaroangiography. In this report a strategy for medical, noninvasive, sequential evaluation of patients in the follow-up of bypass surgery is described. The value of exercise electrocardiography, myocardial Tl-201 scintigraphy and Tc-99 m ventriculography in the detection of silent ischemia and in the evaluation of global and regional ventricular function is stressed. Finally, the use of computed tomography in the noninvasive evaluation of graft patency status is suggested.
