Magnetic resonance angiography is equivalent to X-ray coronary angiography for the evaluation of coronary arteries in Kawasaki disease.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the results of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) with X-ray coronary angiography (XCA) in a pediatric population. BACKGROUND Coronary artery abnormalities in Kawasaki disease (KD) develop in about 15% to 25% of young patients, mostly in the form of aneurysms. METHODS Thirteen patients (12 male), age three to eight years, were studied. T...
متن کاملDiagnostic performance of coronary magnetic resonance angiography as compared against conventional X-ray angiography: a meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to define the current role of coronary magnetic resonance angiography (CMRA) for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND Coronary magnetic resonance angiography has been proposed as a promising noninvasive method for diagnosis of CAD, but individual studies evaluating its clinical value have been of limited sample size. METHODS We identi...
متن کاملClinical role of coronary magnetic resonance angiography in the diagnosis of anomalous coronary arteries.
Though rare, anomalous coronary artery disease is a well-known cause of myocardial ischemia and sudden death among children and young adults. The projectional nature of conventional x-ray angiography often leads to difficulty in the definition of anomalous vessels. Studies have now documented the high accuracy of coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for the noninvasive detection and de...
متن کاملCoronary magnetic resonance angiography.
Coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a powerful noninvasive technique with high soft-tissue contrast for the visualization of the coronary anatomy without X-ray exposure. Due to the small dimensions and tortuous nature of the coronary arteries, a high spatial resolution and sufficient volumetric coverage have to be obtained. However, this necessitates scanning times that are typical...
متن کاملCardiovascular magnetic resonance angiography for the detection of anomalous coronary arteries: a case report
Coronary artery anomalies occur in approximately 0.3% to 0.8% of the population, and include morphological variants of origin, course, or termination. Detection of these types of anomalously originating coronary arteries is crucial for therapeutic intervention.
