Runoff Detected by Magnetic Resonance Angiography as an Indicator for Better Recanalization Outcomes in Below-the-Knee Chronic Total Occlusions in Diabetic Patients. J Endovasc Ther 2015; 22:243-51.

Abstract
Purpose: To compare the feasibility and efficacy of recanalizing below-the-knee (BTK) chronic total occlusions (CTOs) between patients with good or poor distal runoff based on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) scans. Methods: Two hundred long-segment BTK CTOs in 171 limbs of 113 diabetic patients (58 men; mean age 69.8±1.9 years) were divided into good distal runoff (GDR: 119 lesions, 98 limbs) or poor distal runoff groups (PDR: 81 lesions, 73 limbs) based on baseline MRA findings. After angioplasty, modified thrombolysis in myocardial ischemia (mTIMI) grades and ankle-brachial index (ABI) were used to assess immediate outcomes. Regularly scheduled duplex or MRA imaging was performed in follow-up. The restenosis and limb salvage rates were compared. Results: The success rates were 93.3% and 87.7% in the GDR and PDR groups, respectively (p=0.21); subintimal angioplasty was more common in the PDR group (93.0% vs. 63.1%, p<0.01). Completion angiography indicated an mTIMI grade 3 blood flow in 71.2% lesions in the GDR patients and in 52.1% in the PDR (p=0.01) group. Improvement in the ABI was greater in the GDR limbs (p<0.001 vs. PDR). Mean imaging follow-up was 10.8±6.9 months in the GDR group and 11.1±6.6 months in the PDR group. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a better restenosis-free rate in the GDR group (80.6% vs. 61.7%; p=0.02) at 12 months and for lesions with mTIMI grade 3 flow (p<0.01). At 24 months, Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a better limb salvage rate in the GDR group (84.2% vs. 54.6%; p=0.02). Conclusion: Distal runoff detected using MRA could be a predictor for successful intraluminal recanalization, better distal tissue perfusion, improved long-term patency, and better limb salvage for patients with BTK CTOs.

Unenhanced MR angiography of the foot: initial experience of using flow-sensitive dephasing-prepared steady-state free precession in patients with diabetes. Radiology 2014; 272:885-94.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess image quality and diagnostic performance of unenhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiography with use of flow-sensitive dephasing (FSD)-prepared steady-state free precession (SSFP) of the foot arteries in patients with diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study was approved by institutional review board. Informed consent was obtained from all subjects. Thirty-two healthy volunteers and 38 diabetic patients who had been scheduled for lower-extremity contrast material-enhanced MR angiography were recruited to undergo unenhanced MR angiography with a 1.5-T MR unit. Image quality and diagnostic accuracy of unenhanced MR angiography in the detection of significant arterial stenosis (≥50%) were assessed by two independent reviewers. Contrast-enhanced MR angiography was used as the reference standard. The difference in the percentage of diagnostic arterial segments at unenhanced MR angiography between healthy volunteers and diabetic patients was evaluated with the McNemar test and generalized estimating equation for correlated data. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and artery-to-muscle contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of pedal arteries were measured and compared between the two MR angiography techniques by using the paired t test. RESULTS All subjects successfully underwent unenhanced MR angiography of the foot. Unenhanced MR angiography yielded a high percentage of diagnostic arterial segments in both healthy volunteers (303 of 320 segments, 95%) and patients (341 of 370 segments, 92%), and there was no difference in the percentage between the two populations (P = .195). In patients, the average SNR and CNR at unenhanced MR angiography were higher than those at contrast-enhanced MR angiography (SNR: 90.7 ± 38.1 vs 81.7 ± 34.7, respectively, P = .023; CNR: 85.2 ± 33.2 vs 76.6 ± 33.5, respectively, P = .013). The average sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of unenhanced MR angiography were 88% (35 of 40 segments), 93% (107 of 115 segments), 81% (35 of 43 segments), 96% (107 of 112 segments), and 92% (142 of 155 segments), respectively. Interobserver agreement between the two readers for diagnostic accuracy was good (κ = 0.83). CONCLUSION Unenhanced MR angiography with use of FSD-prepared SSFP allows clear depiction of the foot arterial tree and accurate detection of significant arterial stenosis. The technique has the potential to be a safe and reliable screening tool for the assessment of foot arteries in diabetic patients without the use of gadolinium-based contrast material.

J Magn Reson Imaging 2014; 40:996-1001.

Abstract
PURPOSE To implement and evaluate high spatial resolution three-dimensional MR contrast-enhanced angiography (3D-CEMRA) of the thighs using a blood pool contrast agent (BPCA) using the quadrature body coil only in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) in cases receiver coils cannot be used at 1.5 Tesla (T). MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen patients (mean age: 68.7 ± 11.2 years; range, 38-83 years) with known PAOD (Fontaine stages; III: 16, IV: 3) prospectively underwent 3D-CEMRA at 1.5T with a noninterpolated voxel size of 0.49 × 0.49 × 0.48 mm(3) . Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was available for comparison in all patients. Two readers independently evaluated movement artifacts, overall image quality of 3D-CEMRA, and grade of stenosis as compared to DSA. SNR and CNR levels were quantified. RESULTS The 3D-CEMRA was successfully completed in all patients. Patient movement artifacts that affected stenosis grading occurred in 3/38 thighs. Overall image quality was rated excellent in 15/38, good in 12/38, and diagnostic in 8/38 thighs. Stenosis grading matched with that in DSA in 35/38 thighs. High SNR and CNR were measured in all vessels. CONCLUSION The 0.125 mm(3) spatial resolution 3D-CEMRA of the thighs with a BPCA is feasible using a quadrature body coil exclusively with excellent image quality despite long acquisition times. J.

Abstract
Methods are described for generating 3D time-resolved contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiograms of the hands and feet. Given targeted spatial resolution and frame times, it is shown that acceleration of about one order of magnitude or more is necessary. This is obtained by a combination of 2D sensitivity encoding (SENSE) and homodyne (HD) acceleration methods. Image update times from 3.4-6.8 seconds are provided in conjunction with view sharing. Modular receiver coil arrays are described which can be designed to the targeted vascular region. Images representative of the technique are generated in the vasculature of the hands and feet in volunteers and in patient studies.
