CTCA Prior to Invasive Angiography in Post-Bypass Patients (BYPASS CTCA 2)

A Multi-Centre, Randomised Trial Assessing the Value of Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography Prior to Invasive Coronary Angiography in Patients With Previous Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts in Reducing Cardiac Events


Sponsor

Queen Mary University of London

Enrollment

1,000 participants

Start Date

Apr 16, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a coronary computed tomography angiography (CTCA)-guided strategy can reduce the risk of death, heart attack, stroke, and hospital admissions in patients experiencing angina or myocardial infarction following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can CTCA reduce major adverse cardiovascular events compared to standard invasive coronary angiography? * Is CTCA a cost-effective and safer alternative that improves patient quality of life? Researchers will compare outcomes between patients receiving CTCA prior to angiography and those undergoing standard angiography alone to determine if CTCA improves clinical outcomes and procedural safety. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either CTCA-guided care or standard angiography * Undergo coronary imaging and follow-up assessments * Complete questionnaires on quality of life and healthcare resource use
