3D-magnetic resonance angiogram of heterotopic heart transplant.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The patient is a 68-year-old man who had heterotopic heart transplantation (HHTx) performed 8 years ago for ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. The patient presented for noninvasive evaluation of transplant cardiac function and patency of anastomotic connections. A contrast-enhanced 3Dmagnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) was performed, and the data reconstructed using a 3D volume-rendering technique on a commercially available workstation (Figure). A movie file of the 3D-MRA is available as an online-only data supplement available at http://www.circulationaha.org.

Varying Degrees of Ventricular Unloading in the Heterotopic Rat Heart Transplant Model Demonstrated by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
OBJECTIVE Left ventricular assist device placement is an increasingly common treatment for cardiac failure, resulting in cardiac unloading and potentially reversing the remodelling changes seen in heart failure. A popular animal model for human ventricular unloading is the rodent heterotopic non-working heart transplant; the volume loading status of this preparation is important to interpreting...

Background and purpose: The complexity of anatomical variation of Willis circle (CW) has made it susceptible to variation. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of the CW variations using magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) without contrast agent in patients attending Sari Imam Khomeini Hospital. Materials and methods: In a cross-sectional study, 200 subjects referring for ...
متن کاملCoronary magnetic resonance angiography in heterotopic heart transplant recipient.
C oronary allograft vasculopathy remains the main limiting survival factor after heart transplantation and the major cause of mortality after the first year post-transplant, ultimately leading to graft loss. 1 Coronary x-ray angiogra-phy is the clinical gold standard and the most widely used diagnostic technique for coronary allograft vasculopathy in the majority of transplant centers. However,...
