Value of magnetic resonance imaging for the noninvasive detection of stenosis in coronary artery bypass grafts and recipient coronary arteries.
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a potential noninvasive diagnostic tool to detect coronary artery bypass graft stenosis, but its value in clinical practice remains to be established. We investigated the value of MRI in detecting stenotic grafts, including recipient vessels. METHODS AND RESULTS We screened for inclusion 173 consecutive patients who were scheduled for coronary an...
متن کاملAssessment of coronary artery bypass grafts patency with different magnetic resonance technologies.
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of different magnetic resonance (MR) sequences in the assessment of coronary artery bypass graft patency and the evaluation of distal anastomoses with a spin echo sequence (Haste). PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-five patients were examined with all the three techniques and 185 patients with 481 distal anastomoses were examine...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging to evaluate patency of aortocoronary bypass grafts.
To assess the efficacy of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in evaluating graft patency after coronary bypass surgery, 20 patients who had prior surgery (average 5.5 years, range 1.5 to 14) and recent cardiac catheterization because of chest pain were studied. No patient had surgical intervention or change in symptoms in the time interval between catheterization and MR imaging. These 20 patients ...
متن کاملIs there an indication for computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of coronary artery bypass grafts?
This meta-analysis evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for bypass graft occlusion and stenosis detection compared with coronary angiography in post-coronary artery bypass graft patients. The indication for noninvasive imaging in post-coronary artery bypass graft patients with these techniques is discussed. Overall, M...
