Assessment of aortic root dimensions in patients with suspected Marfan syndrome: intraindividual comparison of contrast-enhanced and non-contrast magnetic resonance angiography with echocardiography. Int J Cardiol 2012; 167:190-6. [PMID: 22240770 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2011.12.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2011] [Revised: 12/06/2011] [Accepted: 12/17/2011] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Our purpose was to evaluate intraindividually the performance of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and non-contrast MRA for aortic root diameter measurements and to compare the results with routinely performed echocardiography in patients with suspected Marfan syndrome. METHODS AND MATERIALS Aortic roots were examined prospectively in 51 consecutive patients with suspected Marfan syndrome by using contrast-enhanced MRA and non-contrast MRA at 1.5 T. Two readers independently measured aortic root diameters at the annulus, sinuses of Valsalva and sinutubular junction in both data sets and compared results with echocardiographic data. Intraclass correlation coefficient, Pearson correlation coefficient, Bland-Altman, and two-sided t-test were used to assess agreement between observers and methods. RESULTS 38 (74.5%) of the 51 patients (25 female, 26 male; mean age 37.1 ± 13.7 years) had Marfan syndrome. Both, contrast-enhanced MRA and non-contrast MRA measurements of the sinuses of Valsalva revealed a strong correlation with echocardiography (r=0.850 and r=0.893, respectively). Intraclass correlation was markedly better for non-enhanced MRA (r=0.904) when compared to contrast-enhanced MRA (r=0.690). Image quality (p<0.001) as well as interobserver agreement (p<0.0042) of measurements of the sinuses of Valsalva was significantly better for non-enhanced MRA than for contrast-enhanced MRA. CONCLUSION Non-contrast MRA was more reliable and more valid than contrast-enhanced MRA for assessment of aortic root dimensions in patients with suspected Marfan syndrome. Therefore contrast agents can be omitted for establishing the diagnosis of aortic involvement in Marfan syndrome.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic performance of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT for the detection and localization of residual or recurrent disease in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) after stem cell transplantation. METHODS A total of 197 whole-body (18)F-FDG PET/CT scans were performed in 99 patients with MM at different time points in the course of disease after autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Post-transplant PET/CT scans and clinical remission status as determined by the clinical gold standard (Uniform Response Criteria) were analysed and compared. RESULTS A total of 576 focal osseous and extramedullary lesions were detected in 79 scans. Additional diffuse bone marrow involvement was detected in 17 patients. (18)F-FDG PET/CT had a sensitivity of 54.6%, a specificity of 82.1%, a positive predictive value of 82.3%, a negative predictive value of 54.2% and an overall accuracy of 65.5%. The sensitivity of (18)F-FDG PET/CT was shown to depend on the disease category according to the Uniform Response Criteria for myeloma. CONCLUSION In patients with MM in the post-transplant setting, (18)F-FDG PET/CT may (1) contribute to the detection and localization of disease, (2) provide information about the extent of distinct myeloma manifestations and the total disease burden and (3) add information about the metabolic activity of disease, but (4) has substantially lower sensitivity for this purpose compared to the pretreatment setting.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Fatty acids are a common constituent of atherosclerotic plaque and may be synthesized in the plaque itself. Fatty acid synthesis requires acetyl-coenzyme-A (CoA) as a main substrate, which is produced from acetate. Currently, (11)C-acetate PET/CT is used for the evaluation of malignancies. There are no data concerning its potential for the characterization of atherosclerotic plaque. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to examine the prevalence, distribution, and topographic relationship of arterial (11)C-acetate uptake and vascular calcification in major arteries. METHODS Thirty-six patients were examined by whole-body (11)C-acetate PET/CT. Tracer uptake in various arterial segments was analyzed both qualitatively and semiquantitatively by measuring the blood-pool-corrected standardized uptake value (target-to-background ratio). CT images were used to measure calcified plaque burden. RESULTS (11)C-acetate uptake was observed at 220 sites in 32 (88.8%) of the 36 study patients, and mean target-to-background ratio was 2.5 ± 1.0. Calcified atherosclerotic lesions were observed at 483 sites in 30 (83.3%) patients. Sixty-four (29.1%) of the 220 lesions with marked (11)C-acetate uptake were colocalized with arterial calcification. However, only 13.3% of all arterial calcification sites demonstrated increased radiotracer accumulation. CONCLUSION Our data indicate the feasibility of using (11)C-acetate PET/CT for imaging of fatty acid synthesis in the atherosclerotic vessel wall. This study provides a rationale to incorporating (11)C-acetate PET into further preclinical and clinical studies to obtain new insights into fatty acid synthesis in atherosclerotic lesions and to evaluate whether it may be used to monitor pharmacologic intervention with fatty acid synthase inhibitors.

Abstract
Marfan syndrome is considered a clinical diagnosis. Three diagnostic classifications comprising first, Marfan genotype with a causative FBN1 gene mutation; second, Marfan phenotype with clinical criteria of the original Ghent nosology (Ghent-1); and third, phenotype with clinical criteria of its current revision (Ghent-2) in 300 consecutive persons referred for confirmation or exclusion of Marfan syndrome (150 men, 150 women aged 35 ± 13 years) were used. Sequencing of TGBR1/2 genes was performed in 128 persons without FBN1 mutation. Marfan genotype was present in 140, Ghent-1 phenotype in 139, and Ghent-2 phenotype in 124 of 300 study patients. Marfan syndrome was confirmed in 94 and excluded in 129 persons consistently by all classifications, but classifications were discordant in 77 persons. With combined genotype and phenotype information confirmation of Marfan syndrome was finally achieved in 126 persons by Ghent-1 and in 125 persons by Ghent-2 among 140 persons with Marfan genotype, and exclusion was accomplished in 139 persons by Ghent-1 and in 141 persons by Ghent-2 among 160 persons without Marfan genotype. In total, genotype information changed final diagnoses in 22 persons with Ghent-1, and in 32 persons with Ghent-2. It is concluded that genotype information is essential for diagnosis or exclusion of Marfan syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare diagnostic accuracy and interobserver reliability of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) in the detection of acute pelvic fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 38 consecutive patients (mean age 74.7 years) with a positive finding of anterior pelvis fracture in the conventional X-rays, pelvic MRI and MDCT were performed for further evaluation of pelvic ring fractures. Two radiologists independently read all data sets. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated based on mean scores for each method. Sensitivities of CT and MRI were compared using a paired proportion test (McNemar). Diagnostic validity of both methods was assessed by the interobserver variability using kappa statistics. Combined clinical data and findings from all imaging studies served as the reference standard. RESULTS 122 fractures were identified in the reference standard (37 sacral, 58 pubic, 22 acetabular, 1 ischial, 4 ilial). On average, MRI detected 96.3% whereas CT detected 77% of all fractures. With regard to sensitivity, MRI proved to be significantly better compared to MDCT (observer 1, p=0.0009; observer 2, p=0.0003 by observer 2). In particular, MRI performed better in the depiction of sacral fractures, reaching a sensitivity of 98.6% compared to 66.1% at CT. The interobserver variability was determined to be very good (k=0.955 for MRI and 0.902 for MDCT). CONCLUSION MRI reaches a significantly higher sensitivity than CT in the detection of acute pelvic fractures, particularly of the sacrum. Especially in elderly patients with suspicion of a sacral fracture and negative results at MDCT, MRI may be considered as the next step in diagnostic workup.

Abstract
PURPOSE Current CT-protocols for staging oral and oropharyngeal cancer include primary transversal slices and secondary tilted slices to avoid artifact-producing regions of dental metalwork. Some of the latest MDCT scanners do not allow gantry tilt. Hence, we assessed the relevance of secondary tilted slices in tumor staging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Scans of a tiltable 64-row MDCT-scanner of 82 patients with oral or oropharyngeal cancer were retrospectively and independently evaluated twice by three readers: once using the primary transversal scans only, and once taking the transversal and secondary tilted scans into account. Tumor diameters and TN-stage were determined with both methods. Artifacts on transversal scans were analyzed using a 3-point-ranking-scale. RESULTS Image quality was impaired by severe artifacts in 24% of transversal slices of the oral cavity and in 12% of the oropharynx. The three readers detected an average of 57.7 ± 2.1 of 82 tumors (70%) on transversal CT slices. An average of 6.3 ± 0.6 more tumors (8%) were detected when transversal studies were evaluated in conjunction with secondary tilted slices, leading to a significantly (p=0.0156-0.0313) increased average detection rate of 64.0 ± 2.0 tumors (78%). Moreover, secondary tilted slices led to a correction of underestimated tumor stages in up to six patients (7.3%). CONCLUSION Tilted slices that avoid artifact-producing regions of dental metalwork significantly improve the reader's sensitivity and are of incremental value for staging of oral and oropharyngeal cancers.

Abstract
Mutations in the genes FBN1, TGFBR1, and TGFBR2 can result in heritable connective tissue disorders comprising the Marfan syndrome and the Loeys-Dietz syndrome. Dural ectasia is a characteristic manifestation of both syndromes. However, dural ectasia has not yet been investigated in connective tissue disorders that are unrelated to mutations in the FBN1, TGFBR1 or TGFBR2 genes. Here, we assessed dural ectasia in 33 individuals both with typical manifestations of heritable connective tissue disease and in whom mutations in all three genes had been excluded. We identified 19 individuals with dural ectasia (58%), who exhibited major skeletal manifestations of the Marfan syndrome more frequently than the remaining 14 persons without dural ectasia (p = 0.06). Moreover, only persons with dural ectasia fulfilled clinical criteria of the Marfan syndrome (p = 0.01). Conversely, aortic aneurysm (12 patients; p = 0.8), aortic dissection (five patients; p = 0.1), spontaneous dissection of the carotid arteries (five patients; p = 1), and mitral valve prolapse (13 patients; p = 0.4) were similarly frequent irrespective of dural ectasia. We conclude that dural ectasia is a marker for connective tissue disease which coincides with skeletal rather than with cardiovascular manifestations, and which may involve currently uncharacterized pathogenetic mechanisms and syndromes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the practicability and outcome of fluoroscopic-guided primary one-step treatment of percutaneous gastrostomy (PG) with the system Freka® Gastro Tube (Fresenius Kabi, Germany). MATERIALS AND METHODS In 39 patients (mean age 62.7 ± 12.0 years), primary PG was performed based on clinical indication from August 2009 to April 2010. The intervention was performed by an experienced radiologist under aseptic conditions by direct puncture with Freka® Gastro Tube under fluoroscopic guidance. The clinical data and outcome as well as any complications originated from the electronic archive of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf. RESULTS The intervention was technically successful in all 39 patients. Within the mean follow-up time of 155.3 ± 73.6 days, 29 patients (74.4 %) did not experience complications. 10 patients (25.6 %) had to be revised. Complications manifested after a mean of 135.6 ± 61.2 days and mainly corresponded to accidental dislocation (50 %). One patient had to be surgically revised under suspicion of a malpositioned tube and suspected intestinal perforation. Clinically relevant wound infections were not detected. The total costs per patient were 553.17 € for our single-step treatment (OPS 5 - 431.x) vs. 963.69 € (OPS 5 - 431.x and OPS 8 - 123.0) for the recommended two-step treatment. CONCLUSION Fluoroscopic-guided primary single-step treatment with Freka® Gastro Tube system is feasible and not associated with an increased complication rate when compared to published literature applying a two-step treatment approach. Material costs as well as human and time resources could be significantly reduced using the single-step treatment.

Abstract
Obstructive and central sleep apneas are treatable disorders, which contribute to cardiovascular morbidity in older adults. Younger adults with Marfan syndrome may also be at risk for sleep apnea, but the relation between cardiovascular complications and sleep apnea is unknown. We used MiniScreen8 portable monitoring devices for polygraphy in 68 consecutive adults with Marfan syndrome (33 men, 35 women, 41 +/- 14 years old) to investigate frequency of sleep apnea and its relation to cardiovascular morbidity. The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was 6 to 15/hour in 14 subjects (mild sleep apnea, 21%), and AHI was >15/hour in 7 subjects (moderate or severe sleep apnea, 10%). Among established risk factors for sleep apnea, only older age (Spearman rho = 0.35, p = 0.004) and body mass index (rho = 0.26, p = 0.03) were associated with increased AHI. Of all cases of apnea, 12 +/- 27 were obstructive, 11 +/- 25 central, and 3 +/- 9 mixed. AHI was associated with decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (rho = -0.33, p = 0.01), increased N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels (rho = 0.35, p = 0.004), enlarged descending aortic diameters (rho = 0.44, p = 0.001), atrial fibrillation (phi = 0.43, p = 0.002), and mitral valve surgery (phi = 0.34, p = 0.02). Of these, left ventricular ejection fraction, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels, atrial fibrillation, and mitral valve surgery were associated with AHI independently of age and body mass index. We found similar associations with oxygen desaturation index. In conclusion, sleep apnea exhibits increased frequency in Marfan syndrome and is not predicted by classic risk factors. Obstructive and central sleep apneas may relate to cardiovascular disease variables.
