Real-Time Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Guided Stenting of Aortic Coarctation With Commercially Available Catheter Devices in Swine

Abstract

This experience demonstrates preclinical safety and feasibility of rtMRI-guided aortic coarctation stenting using commercially available catheter devices. Patients may benefit from rtMRI in the future because of combined device and tissue imaging, freedom from ionizing radiation, and the ability to identify serious complications promptly.
