| Title | Three-Dimensional Flow Characteristics in Aortic Coarctation and Poststenotic Dilatation. | | Author(s) | Markl M, Arnold R, Hirtler D, von Zur Muhlen C, Harloff A, Langer M, Hennig J, Frydrychowicz A | | Institution | From the Departments of *Diagnostic Radiology, Medical Physics, daggerPediatric Cardiology, double daggerCardiology and Angiology, and section signNeurophysiology, University Hospital Freiburg, Albert-Ludwigs University Freiburg, Germany. | | Source | J Comput Assist Tomogr 2009 September/October; 33(5):776-778. | | Abstract | The authors present findings from a scientific study in a 36-year-old male patient who was transferred for the evaluation of a restenosis in aortic coarctation that was initially treated by surgical repair. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography and comprehensive flow-sensitive 4-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging for the evaluation of 3-dimensional blood flow in the entire thoracic aorta demonstrated distinct flow pattern changes associated with the disease, demonstrating a potential link between altered vascular hemodynamics and the development of vascular disease. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
