1 las [18]. That study reported no significant worsening of renal function in 15 patients who were not immediately treated with hemodialysis, with 2and 6-month “monitoring” [18]. Because of this apparent safety, most radiology practices did not require serum creatinine measurements before the administration of GBCAs. This absence of data increased the difficulty in retrospective analysis of the...

Adequate exposure is a prerequisite for open valve surgery. The mitral valve can rarely be very challenging to expose. We describe a redo double valve replacement in a patient with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in whom exposure of the mitral valve was achieved with cardiac autotransplantation.

SEE PAGE 1019 C ardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) (1) is the current clinical gold standard modality for evaluation of focal fibrosis and scar in patients with an ischemic or a nonischemic cardiomyopathy. LGE requires administration of an exogenous gadoliniumbased contrast agent, which accumulates in the scar region. LGE imaging is commonly performed using an inv...

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a recently identified idiopathic cutaneous fibrosing disorder that occurs in the setting of renal failure. The disease initially called nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy is closely linked to exposure to gadolinium-based contrast media used during magnetic resonance imaging in patients with renal insufficiency. Although little is known about the pathogenesis...
