Abstract
Coronary angiography is a common procedure performed by the cardiologist to evaluate coronary atherosclerotic disease (CAD) and the result is utilized by both cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to perform catheter and surgical interventions on the coronary artery. In addition to evaluating CAD, other useful investigative modalities such as left ventriculography and aortography can be performed at the time of coronary angiography. Despite its limitations and the emergence of newer investigative modalities like coronary computed tomography angiography, intravascular ultrasound scan, and magnetic resonance coronary angiography, conventional coronary angiography has remained the gold standard for the evaluation of coronary artery disease. Hence, it remains an investigative modality that every member of the cardiothoracic team performing coronary artery bypass grafting must learn how to interpret.
