OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to assess the feasibility of using 16-MDCT angiography for the preoperative assessment of the radial and ulnar arteries and the palmar arches in patients scheduled for radial artery harvesting for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.

CONCLUSION. Sixteen-MDCT angiography shows promise for the noninvasive preoperative assessment of the radial artery as a CABG donor site.
