В обзоре представлено описание лучевых инструментов и методов, доступных в настоящее время, для получения тщательной и полной анатомической и функциональной оценки состоятельности различных коронарных шунтов, а также некоторые детали выполнения и клинической интерпретации результатов этих исследований.

The review describes available modern radiological methods which are currently applied for a detailed and comprehensive anatomical and functional assessment of the viability of various coronary artery bypass grafts. In addition, it presents some aspects of the implementation of these methods and clinical interpretation of the results.
