Coronary Artery Imaging in Patients with Congenital Heart Disease: Improved Image Quality Using an Intravascular Contrast Agent and Specific Magnetic Resonance Sequence Design
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
In patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) imaging of coronary artery origin and course can be crucial for preoperative planning. A novel intravascular contrast agent Gadofosveset trisodium (GdT) has demonstrated to be superior for angiography due to improved intravascular contrast compared to the currently used extravascular contrast agent Gadopentetate dimeglumine (GdD).
