Intracoronary MR imaging using a 0.014-inch MR imaging-guidewire: toward MRI-guided coronary interventions.
PURPOSE To validate the feasibility of using a newly designed MR imaging-guidewire (MRIG) to guide angioplasty balloon placement in coronary arteries. MATERIALS AND METHODS A custom gold/sliver/Nitinol/MP35N-based, 0.014-inch MRIG was manufactured. To test its mechanical performance we used the new MRIG to catheterize the left coronary arteries of three dogs under x-ray fluoroscopy. To furthe...
متن کاملDevelopment of a 0.014-inch anti-solenoid loop coil: Toward intracoronary 3.0T MRI and interventions
PURPOSE: Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is the main cause of heart attack. Unlike plaques in carotid arteries, the atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries are difficult to be detected using conventional MRI techniques with surface coils. To solve this problem, a 0.014-inch intracoronary MR imaging-guidewire (a loopless RF coil) was invented, which enabled to generate intracoronary...
متن کاملIntracoronary 3.0T MRI: An ex vivo feasibility study in swine hearts
PURPOSE: MRI is becoming a useful imaging tool for the diagnosis and treatment atherosclerotic coronary arteries. To date, there are no reports on intracoronary MRI using a clinical 3.0T MRI scanner, which requires the placement of a small sized (usually 0.014-inch in diameter) endovascular MR coil into the coronary arteries. In this study, we attempted to confirm, ex vivo, the possibility of g...
متن کاملDevelopment of a 0.014-inch magnetic resonance imaging guidewire.
The purpose of this study was to develop a standard 0.014-inch intravascular magnetic resonance imaging guidewire (MRIG), a coaxial cable with an extension of the inner conductor, specifically designed for use in the small vessels. After a theoretical analysis, the 0.014-inch MRIG was built by plating/cladding highly electrically conductive materials, silver or gold, over the inside and outside...
متن کاملDevelopment of an intravascular heating source using an MR imaging guidewire.
PURPOSE To develop a novel endovascular heating source using a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging guidewire (MRIG) to deliver controlled microwave energy into the target vessel for thermal enhancement of vascular gene transfection. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 0.032-inch MRIG was connected to a 2.45-GHz microwave generator. We 1) calculated the microwave power loss along the MRIG, 2) simulated the po...
