Non-invasive characterization of the area-at-risk using magnetic resonance imaging in chronic ischaemia
Abstract
AIMS: we investigated the performance of quantitative stress perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a basis for identifying and characterizing the area-at-risk subtending a chronic coronary artery (CA) stenosis.
METHODS AND RESULTS: pigs underwent a percutaneous copper-coated stent implantation in the circumflex CA (n = 11) or a sham operation (n = 5). After 6 weeks, angiography and MRI were performed including cine (rest, low- and …
