Provocative MRI catheterization

چکیده
Background Invasive right heart catheterization plays a central role in the investigation of patients with cardiac and pulmonary vascular disease. Physiological provocations during invasive heart catheterization augment the diagnostic yield and can provide useful prognostic information. MRI catheterization combines invasive hemodynamic measurements with MRI structural and functional evaluations thus providing superior diagnostic information than either test alone. An additional benefit to both patient and operator is no ionizing radiation, which is of particular value in pediatric patients.

MRI catheterization in cardiopulmonary disease.
Diagnosis and prognostication in patients with complex cardiopulmonary disease can be a clinical challenge. A new procedure, MRI catheterization, involves invasive right-sided heart catheterization performed inside the MRI scanner using MRI instead of traditional radiographic fluoroscopic guidance. MRI catheterization combines simultaneous invasive hemodynamic and MRI functional assessment in a...
متن کاملProvocative wrist tests and MRI are of limited diagnostic value for suspected wrist ligament injuries: a cross-sectional study.
QUESTION What is the diagnostic value of provocative wrist tests and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for suspected wrist ligament injuries? DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS 105 people presenting to hand clinics with wrist pain and suspected wrist ligament injuries were evaluated prospectively. OUTCOME MEASURES The integrity of wrist ligaments was tested with seven provocative t...
متن کاملReal-time MRI-guided right heart catheterization in adults using passive catheters.
AIMS Real-time MRI creates images with superb tissue contrast that may enable radiation-free catheterization. Simple procedures are the first step towards novel interventional procedures. We aim to perform comprehensive transfemoral diagnostic right heart catheterization in an unselected cohort of patients entirely using MRI guidance. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed X-ray and MRI-guided tran...
متن کاملCerebral microembolism during cardiac catheterization and risk of acute brain injury: a prospective diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral microembolism detected by transcranial Doppler occurs systematically during cardiac catheterization, but its clinical relevance remains unknown. Studies suggest that asymptomatic embolic cerebral infarction detectable by diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI might exist after percutaneous cardiac interventions, especially after retrograde catheterization of the aortic valv...
متن کاملTechnologist primer for MRI right heart catheterization: the NIH and CNMC experience
Background We have begun to perform routine and research MRI right heart catheterization in adults and research MRI catheterization in children. We report our technologist workflow. Methods Scanner preparation: The scanner façade and bore are covered with adhesive clear sterile drapes and surface coils enveloped in sterile plastic bags. A MR catheterization pack contains only non-ferromagnetic ...
