Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate magnetic resonance phase contrast velocimetry (MRVL) as a non-invasive follow up tool to assess restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Patients and methods: We prospectively investigated 51 consecutive patients who underwent PTA of the femoropopliteal region. MRVL was conducted prior, one day, six weeks, twelve weeks and 24 weeks after PTA using a circular polarized extremity coil and a gradient echo sequence (TR/TE 600/6 ms, flip angle 30°, slice thickness 10 mm). Hemodynamic data, derived from the MR phase contrast sequence, allowed to calculate the degree of area stenosis of the lesion treated with PTA. These data were correlated with clinical hemodynamic parameters (ankle-brachial index and walking distance). Results: The mean grade of area stenosis was 69% ± 27% before PTA, 30% ± 20% one day, 29% ± 23% six weeks, 39% ± 17% twelve weeks and 42% ± 18% 24 weeks after PTA and correlated well with clinical data and the post angioplasty clinical course of the patients. Conclusions: Follow up measurements using MRVL are suitable to assess restenosis after PTA and allow quantifying the grade of recurrent stenosis as well as the hemodynamic consequences.

Objective To evaluate phase-contrast velocity mapping (PCVM) as a diagnostic tool for pelvic congestion syndrome and comparing this approach with direct venography. Method We prospectively include nine women with clinical suspicion of pelvic congestion syndrome during a six-month period. All patients underwent a magnetic resonance phase-contrast scan before a direct venography. We considered a case of pelvic congestion syndrome when the PCVM showed a retrograde or slow (less than 5 cm/second) flow in any gonadal vein. This criterion was compared with the standard diagnostic criterion observed from a direct venography. Results Using direct venography we found 14 abnormal veins and all of them were correctly identified by the PCVM. The other four veins were found to be normal by the direct venography. However, two of them (the same patient) were abnormal in the PCVM, even though this patient had the classical symptoms of pelvic congestion syndrome. Conclusion PCVM is a useful tool for diagnosing pelvic contrast syndrome and can avoid invasive procedures such as direct venography.
