A realistic MR compatible aortic phantom to validate hemodynamic parameters from MRI data: aortic coarctation patients comparison using catheterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Recently, 3D printing technologies have emerged as a very innovative technique to produce anatomical replicas. Nevertheless, vessel phantoms built up to now are simplified models, with difficulties to obtain parameters with physiological values. The aim of this work is to show and validate a MR compatible thoracic aorta system, designed to obtain hemodynamic parameters within a range comparable to healthy volunteers and patients with aortic coarctation (AoCo).

Hemodynamic Assessment of Pre- and Post-operative Aortic Coarctation from MRI
Coarctation of the aorta (CoA), is a congenital defect characterized by a severe narrowing of the aorta, usually distal to the aortic arch. The treatment options include surgical repair, stent implantation, and balloon angioplasty. In order to evaluate the physiological significance of the pre-operative coarctation and to assess the post-operative results, the hemodynamic analysis is usually pe...
متن کاملBALLOON ANGIOPLASTY IN NATIVE AORTIC COARCTATION: RESULT S IN SHIRAZ AND REVIEW OF ARTICLES
Balloon angioplasty for aortic coarctation was introduced in 1979 for the fust time.1 This procedure soon became the choice treatment for restenosis of operated coarctation,2-5 but remains controversial for native (unoperated) coarctation. However, it seems to be rapidly becoming the intervention of choice for relief of unoperated coarctation as well. In this study, we evaluate the outcome ...
متن کاملMR-guided cardiac interventions using MR-compatible devices: first- in -man clinical trial
Results Seven patients aged 3 64 years have been recruited so far. Five patients have undergone successful interventions for pulmonary valve stenosis (n=4) and native aortic coarctation (n=1). One patient with left pulmonary artery stent underwent right heart catheterisation with the aid of the new MR-wire, but the gradient across the stent was only 5mmHg, hence no intervention was required. Th...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging predictors of coarctation severity.
BACKGROUND MRI is increasingly used for anatomic assessment of aortic coarctation (CoA), but its ability to predict the transcatheter pressure gradient, considered the reference standard for hemodynamic severity, has not been studied in detail. This study evaluated the ability of MRI to distinguish between mild versus moderate and severe CoA as determined by cardiac catheterization. METHODS A...
متن کاملAcute Type A Dissection and Acute Inferior MI Complicating Aortic Coarctation: A Case Report
Aortic coarctation is a rare but dangerous condition. Presence of aortic dissection in addition to coarctation is significantly rarer and more life-threatening. Here, we present a case of acute inferior MI due to aortic dissection complicating a native aortic coarctation. A 17-year-old boy was admitted to our emergency department due to severe chest pain and loss of consciousness. His ele...
