In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if using a non-invasive heart scan (called coronary computed tomography angiography, or CCTA) to plan coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) works as well as the standard invasive approach (called coronary angiography, or CAG) for people with blocked heart arteries. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do people who have surgery planned with the non-invasive heart scan have similar health outcomes at 1 year as those who have surgery planned with the standard invasive approach? How does the non-invasive approach compare in terms of heart attacks, strokes, unplanned repeat procedures, and longer hospital stays? Researchers will compare two groups of participants. One group will have their surgery planned using only the CCTA . The other group will have their surgery planned using only the CAG. Both groups will undergo the CABG per local
