Blood pool MR angiography of aortic stent-graft endoleak. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our research was to investigate the value of a blood pool contrast agent in detecting endoleaks on MR angiography after endoluminal stent-graft repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms. CONCLUSION: Blood pool MR angiography using Ferumoxytol reveals more aortic stent-graft endoleaks than does CT angiography and depicts more endoleaks 24 hr after administration than during the immediate arterial phase because of a 50-fold increase in the volume of enhancement in the aneurysmal sac outside the stent-graft.
