Summary

This study tests whether advanced CT imaging can help doctors plan better coronary bypass surgery for 200 people with heart disease. Participants get a CT scan before and after surgery to measure blood flow changes. The goal is to improve surgical decisions and reduce chest pain, but the surgery itself is standard care, not a cure.
