Abstract

The purpose of this article is to review recent developments in the field of MR guided vascular interventions. Such interventions require real-time visualization of catheters and guidewires to define their location with regards to the vascular system and surrounding tissues. In the first part of the article, passive and active catheter visualization, real-time angiography, and interactivity techniques that make guidance of intra-vascular instruments possible are described. Subsequently animal coronary and peripheral interventions performed under MR guidance are described. MR guided interventions could potentially open up new applications for the treatment of cardio-vascular disease in the near future.

Transhepatic vascular access for diagnostic and interventional procedures: techniques, outcome, and complications.

Early or multiple cardiac catheterizations may result in occlusion of the femoral veins prohibiting their use. The internal jugular or sub-clavian approach may be an appropriate alternative. However, these approaches may not be suitable in patients with surgical interruption of the superior vena cava. In other patients, they may not allow easy access to certain areas of the heart. The transhepatic approach is an important alternative route for performing cardiac catheterization and interventions. Depending on the planned procedure, it may be the preferred route to perform the cardiac catheterization even in the presence of patent femoral veins. The indications, technical details and potential complications of this approach are discussed.

Embolization for a bleeding pelvic fracture in a patient with persistent sciatic artery.

Emergency embolization for a bleeding pelvic fracture was performed in a patient with persistent sciatic artery, a rare anatomic variation in which the internal iliac artery continues to the popliteal artery. Successful hemostasis was achieved without complications by means of selective catheterization into each branch of the internal iliac artery. Awareness of this unusual vascular anatomy is critically important to avoid serious complication of emergency embolization.
