lüll Magnetic resonance imaging-guided vascular interventions Ozturk C; Guttman M; McVeigh ER; Lederman RJTop Magn Reson Imaging 2005[Oct]; 16 (5): 369-81Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which provides superior soft-tissue imaging and no known harmful effects, has the potential as an alternative modality to guide various medical interventions. This review will focus on MR-guided endovascular interventions and present its current state and future outlook. In the first technical part, enabling technologies such as developments in fast imaging, catheter devices, and visualization techniques are examined. This is followed by a clinical survey that includes proof-of-concept procedures in animals and initial experience in human subjects. In preclinical experiments, MRI has already proven to be valuable. For example, MRI has been used to guide and track targeted cell delivery into or around myocardial infarctions, to guide atrial septal puncture, and to guide the connection of portal and systemic venous circulations. Several investigational MR-guided procedures have already been reported in patients, such as MR-guided cardiac catheterization, invasive imaging of peripheral artery atheromata, selective intraarterial MR angiography, and preliminary angioplasty and stent placement. In addition, MR-assisted transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedures in patients have been shown in a novel hybrid double-doughnut x-ray/MRI system. Numerous additional investigational human MR-guided endovascular procedures are now underway in several medical centers around the world. There are also significant hurdles: availability of clinical-grade devices, device-related safety issues, challenges to patient monitoring, and acoustic noise during imaging. The potential of endovascular interventional MRI is great because as a single modality, it combines 3-dimensional anatomic imaging, device localization, hemodynamics, tissue composition, and function.|Animals[MESH]|Blood Vessel Prosthesis Implantation/methods[MESH]|Catheterization/methods[MESH]|Contrast Media[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Imaging, Three-Dimensional[MESH]|Magnetic Resonance Imaging/*methods[MESH]|Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures[MESH]|Vascular Diseases/*diagnosis/*therapy[MESH] |
