We investigated the role of contrast\r\nenhanced magnetic resonance angiography\r\n(MRA) to evaluate the pulmonary blood supply\r\nand the anatomy of the pulmonary arteries\r\nand compared this with cardiac catheterization\r\nin children with PA. We studied 20 children\r\nwith PA. Median age was 2.5 years (range\r\n6 months-13 years). All patients were examined\r\nwith cardiac catheterization and contrast\r\nenhanced MRA, and the results of both modalities\r\nwere compared. There was a complete\r\nagreement between both modalities in the\r\ndetection of the main pulmonary artery morphology\r\nand determination of the confluence\r\nstate of the central pulmonary arteries. There\r\nwas an 88% agreement for patency of the ductus\r\narteriosus and 66% for patency of the surgically\r\nplaced shunt. There was a complete\r\nagreement between both techniques on determining\r\nthe presence of collaterals more than\r\n2.5 mm. Twenty-eight collaterals of less than\r\n2.5 mm were detected only by contrast\r\nenhanced MRA. There was a strong correlation\r\nbetween both modalities in measuring\r\nthe pulmonary arteries and collaterals diameter\r\n(P<0.001). Contrast enhanced MRA is a\r\nsafe and accurate non-invasive technique to\r\nevaluate the pulmonary artery morphology and\r\nthe sources of pulmonary blood supply in children\r\nwith PA.","wpcf-article_keywords":"Pulmonary atresia, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.","wpcf-article_citation_override":"Heart International<\/i> 2012;7(2):e9","wpcf-compliance-with-ethics":"","wpcf-article_disclosure":"","wpcf-review_process":"","wpcf-authorship":"","wpcf-article_correspondence":"Abdou Elhendy, Marshfield Clinic, 1000 N Oak Ave, Marshfield WI 54449, USA.
