Non-contrast 3D radial and QISS MRA for transcatheter aortic valve replacement planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Because of the high prevalence of renal insufficiency in patients eligible for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a non-contrast evaluation of the aortic root complex along with the entire vascular access route is desirable for pre-procedural evaluation. In this pilot study we proposed to test two novel investigational, non-contrast MRA techniques to develop a protocol for TAVR planning.

Comprehensive non-contrast MR assessment of the iliofemoral arteries with visualization of vascular calcifications in TAVR candidates - initial experience
Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as an accepted therapeutic option for moderate and high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. In addition to vessel caliber, the presence and configuration of vascular calcifications by the iliofemoral access site is part of routine pre-interventional assessment with CTA and catheter angiography. Non-contrast MR angiograp...

Background One of the advantages of CT angiography (CTA) over MRA for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) planning is the ability to display aortic valve and arterial calcification accurately. However, in many patients who are TAVR candidates, renal impairment makes iodinated contrast media undesirable or contraindicated. Further, in patients with severe renal impairment, gadolinium b...

BACKGROUND Coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is usually obtained with a free-breathing navigator-gated 3D acquisition. Our aim was to develop an alternative breath-hold approach that would allow the coronary arteries to be evaluated in a much shorter time and without risk of degradation by respiratory motion artifacts. For this purpose, we implemented a breath-hold, non-contrast-enh...
متن کاملTranscatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Review Article
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a novel therapeutic intervention for the replacement of severely stenotic aortic valves in high-risk patients for standard surgical procedures. Since the initial PARTNER trial results, use of TAVR has been on the rise each year. New delivery methods and different valves have been developed and modified in order to promote the minimally invasive p...
