Abstract

Percutaneous valve implantation is the development of a foldable heart valve that can be mounted on an expandable stent delivered percutaneously through standard catheter-based techniques and implanted within a diseased valve annulus. In cases with severe aortic stenosis, the diseased valve has to be pre-dilated. To perform a true replacement the diseased valve has to be ablated and removed. In this article, we review the development of percutaneous valve replacement technology and discuss future prospects in this field.

[Whole body MRI--diagnostic strategy of the future?].

Whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) opens new opportunities in diagnostic radiology as systemic disease entities can be examined with high sensitivity. This can lead to a change of paradigm, so that not only organ-related but rather disease-specific MRI examination protocols can be applied which focus on the underlying pathophysiology of the disease. Whole body MRI has already been successfully used for several oncological and non-oncological indications. In addition, whole body MRI has broadened the discussion regarding its use for secondary prevention. Compared to computed tomography, MRI does not use radiation. Although whole body MRI is still in an early stage, the enormous medical and economical potential can be envisioned.
