  • Title: Exercise thallium 201 scintigraphy in evaluating aortocoronary bypass surgery.
    Author: Iskandrian AS, Haaz W, Segal BL, Kane SA.
    Journal: Chest; 1981 Jul; 80(1):11-5. PubMed ID: 6972855.
    Abstract:
    Thirty patients with recurrent symptoms after aortocoronary bypass graft surgery underwent angiography as well as exercise thallium 201 imaging. Exercise imaging has been shown to be highly specific (100 percent in our study) in evaluating patients after bypass surgery. Patients with complete revascularization have normal thallium 201 images. Similarly, exercise-induced defects are seen only in the presence of incomplete revascularization. There are patients, however, with incomplete revascularization with normal exercise images, but these generally limited to the right coronary artery or the diagonal vessels or their grafts.
