This study is comparing two different ways to look at the arteries in your heart before surgery. One method uses a special CT scanner (CCT), and the other is an invasive procedure where doctors thread a thin tube into your heart arteries (ICA). Researchers want to know if the non-invasive CT scan works just as well as the invasive procedure for finding blockages and abnormalities.
Currently, doctors use the invasive catheter procedure as the standard test before heart surgery in your situation, but it carries risks and takes time to schedule. This study aims to find out whether the safer, faster CT scan could replace it and give doctors the same reliable information they need.

If you join this study, you will have already had or will have both imaging tests (the CT scan and the catheter procedure) as part of your normal care before surgery. Researchers will compare the results of both tests to see how well they agree in finding blockages and heart artery abnormalities. You will be asked to sign a consent form, and your medical information will be carefully reviewed and studied.
