Comparison of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography and digital subtraction angiography in the evaluation of renal artery stenosis and detecting of accessory and polar arteries
Abstract:Objectives: Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. RAS may cause renal insufficiency, uncontrolled hypertension and is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of contrast enhanced Flash 3D Renal Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) in the depiction of the RAS also detecting of accessory and polar renal arteries with intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) still serving as the reference standard. Met… Show more
