“…Previous studies have reported a fair correlation between XRA and MRA for the measurements of the pulmonary artery stenosis [5,15,16], some of them with even good agreement [17][18][19]. However, it appears that MRA tends to over estimate the severity of the pulmonary arteries stenosis compared to XRA [11].…”

“…[11][12][13][14][15] MRA has recently been shown to correlate well with catheterization in the evaluation of branch pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis. 16 However, its application to complex PA anomalies such as discontinuous or absent pulmonary arteries and to APCs has not been examined in detail. The present study, therefore, was undertaken to compare MRA with catheterization and x-ray angiography in patients with complex pulmonary stenosis or atresia.…”

Background-In patients with complex pulmonary stenosis or atresia, a detailed delineation of all sources of pulmonary blood supply is necessary for planning surgical and transcatheter procedures and usually requires diagnostic cardiac catheterization. The goals of this study were to determine whether gadolinium-enhanced 3D magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) can provide a noninvasive alternative to diagnostic catheterization and to compare MRA and x-ray angiography measurements of pulmonary arteries and aortopulmonary collaterals (APCs). Methods and Results-Thirty-two patients with pulmonary stenosis or atresia (median age: 4.7 years, range: 1 day to 46.9 years) underwent both MRA and cardiac catheterization (median time: 1 month). Diagnoses included tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with pulmonary atresia (nϭ13), TOF with pulmonary stenosis (nϭ4), post-Fontan palliation (nϭ5), and other complex congenital heart disease (nϭ10). Compared with catheterization and surgical observations, MRA had a 100% sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of main (nϭ10) and branch pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis or hypoplasia (nϭ38), as well as absent (nϭ5) or discontinuous (nϭ4) branch PAs. All 48 major APCs diagnosed by catheterization were correctly diagnosed by MRA. Three additional APCs were diagnosed by MRA but not by catheterization. The mean difference between MRA and catheterization measurements of 33 pulmonary vessel diameters was 0.5Ϯ1.5 mm, with a mean interobserver difference of 0.4Ϯ1.5 mm. Conclusions-Gadolinium-enhanced 3D MRA is a fast and accurate technique for delineation of all sources of pulmonary blood supply in patients with complex pulmonary stenosis and atresia and can be considered a noninvasive alternative to diagnostic catheterization with x-ray angiography.

“…Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) is a newly developed technique increasing the diagnostic power of cardiac MRI studies and gaining more and more importance in non-invasive cardiac imaging [4,5]. CE-MRA has been proven to be an accurate diagnostic tool for pulmonary and systemic venous anomalies as well as for aortic arch anomalies [6][7][8][9][10].…”
