Abstract

Magnetic resonance (MR) angiography is a rapidly evolving field in MR imaging, the main goal of which is a noninvasive tool for visualizing blood vessels. The acquisition of continuous images of the blood vessels, comparable to the conventional DSA images, as well as the functional evaluation of blood-flow velocities and flow patterns are the subject of continuing developments. The basic principles of the various techniques and their clinical applications are reviewed and the practical limitations in specific anatomic regions discussed. The review concludes with a survey of future developments.

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.
