- Abstract
Background and Purpose: Long acquisition times limit the feasibility of established non-contrast-enhanced MRA (non-CE-MRA) techniques. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a highly accelerated flow-independent sequence (Relaxation-Enhanced Angiography without Contrast and Triggering [REACT]) for imaging of the extracranial arteries in acute ischemic stroke (AIS)., Materials and Methods: Compressed SENSE (CS) accelerated (factor 7) 3D isotropic REACT (fixed scan time: 01:22 min, reconstructed voxel size 0.625 × 0.625 × 0.75 mm
3 ) and CE-MRA (CS factor 6, scan time: 1:08 min, reconstructed voxel size 0.5 mm3 ) were acquired in 76 AIS patients (69.4 ± 14.3 years, 33 females) at 3 Tesla. Two radiologists assessed scans for the presence of internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis and stated their diagnostic confidence using a 5-point scale (5 = excellent). Vessel quality of cervical arteries as well as the impact of artifacts and image noise were scored on 5-point scales (5 = excellent/none). Apparent signal- and contrast-to-noise ratios (aSNR/aCNR) were measured for the common carotid artery (CCA) and ICA (C1-segment)., Results: REACT provided a sensitivity of 88.5% and specificity of 100% for clinically relevant (≥50%) ICA stenosis with substantial concordance to CE-MRA regarding stenosis grading (Cohen's kappa 0.778) and similar diagnostic confidence (REACT: mean 4.5 ± 0.4 vs. CE-MRA: 4.5 ± 0.6; P = 0.674). Presence of artifacts (3.6 ± 0.5 vs. 3.5 ± 0.7; P = 0.985) and vessel quality (all segments: 3.6 ± 0.7 vs. 3.8 ± 0.7; P = 0.004) were comparable between both techniques with REACT showing higher scores at the CCA (4.3 ± 0.6 vs. 3.8 ± 0.9; P < 0.001) and CE-MRA at V2- (3.3 ± 0.5 vs. 3.9 ± 0.8; P < 0.001) and V3-segments (3.3 ± 0.5 vs. 4.0 ± 0.8; P < 0.001). For all vessels, REACT showed a lower impact of image noise (3.8 ± 0.6 vs. 3.6 ± 0.7; P = 0.024) while yielding higher aSNR (52.5 ± 15.1 vs. 37.9 ± 12.5; P < 0.001) and aCNR (49.4 ± 15.0 vs. 34.7 ± 12.3; P < 0.001) for all vessels combined., Conclusions: In patients with acute ischemic stroke, highly accelerated REACT provides an accurate detection of ICA stenosis with vessel quality and scan time comparable to CE-MRA., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest Kilian Weiss: Employee, Philips Healthcare.

- Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate a novel flow-independent sequence (Relaxation-Enhanced Angiography without Contrast and Triggering (REACT)) for imaging of the extracranial arteries in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) at 1.5 T., Methods: This retrospective single-center study included 47 AIS patients who received REACT (scan time: 3:01 min) and contrast-enhanced MRA (CE-MRA) of the extracranial arteries at 1.5 T in clinical routine. Two radiologists assessed scans for proximal internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis, stated their diagnostic confidence and rated the image quality of cervical arteries, impact of artifacts and image noise. Apparent signal- and contrast-to-noise ratios (aSNR/aCNR) were measured for the common carotid artery and ICA., Results: REACT achieved a sensitivity of 95.0% and a specificity of 97.3% for ICA stenoses in high agreement with CE-MRA (κ = 0.83) with equal diagnostic confidence (p = 0.22). Image quality was rated higher for CE-MRA at the aortic arch (p = 0.002) and vertebral arteries (p < 0.001), whereas REACT provided superior results for the extracranial ICA (p = 0.008). Both sequences were only slightly affected by artifacts (p = 0.60), while image noise was more pronounced in CE-MRA (p < 0.001) in line with higher aSNR (p < 0.001) and aCNR (p < 0.001) values in REACT for all vessels., Conclusion: Given its good diagnostic performance while yielding comparable image quality and scan time to CE-MRA, REACT may be suitable for the imaging of the extracranial arteries in acute ischemic stroke at 1.5 T., (© 2024.

Finke K, Gietzen T, Steven D, Baldus S, Ten Freyhaus H, Maintz D, Pennig L, and Gietzen C
- Abstract
Background: Fibromas are rare primary benign cardiac tumours that can become symptomatic due to expansive growth, ventricular rhythm disturbances, and sudden cardiac death. Distinguishing fibromas from other (malign) cardiac masses is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment. While there is some experience in management of cardiac fibromas in children, management of adult patients is unknown., Case Summary: We present three cases of cardiac fibroma in adult patients diagnosed by echocardiography, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), and computed tomography (CT): (1) a 55-year-old male with a left ventricular fibroma leading to reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and mitral regurgitation. He had family history of sudden cardiac death, showed premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), and was treated with a primary preventive subcutaneous implantable cardiac defibrillator (S-ICD); (2) a 39-year-old male with right ventricular fibroma as an incidental finding. He complained of episodes of PVC. Due to a low PVC burden, decision was made against ablation and the patient was planned for follow-up; and (3) an 18-year-old female with left ventricular apex fibroma detected by CMR shortly after birth and confirmed by surgical biopsy. Being asymptomatic, conservative management was pursued and follow-up by CMR planned., Discussion: Cardiac fibromas can show various clinical presentations and hence being detected late in life. Given potential complications of surgical biopsy, diagnosis of cardiac fibromas is primarily based on echocardiography, CT, and CMR. Rhythm disturbances as PVCs are common. Due to association with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, preventive ICD placement might be appropriate on an individual basis., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest: D.M.: speaker’s bureau, Philips Healthcare.

- Abstract
Background: Diagnosing myocarditis relies on multimodal data, including cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), clinical symptoms, and blood values. The correct interpretation and integration of CMR findings require radiological expertise and knowledge. We aimed to investigate the performance of Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4 (GPT-4), a large language model, for report-based medical decision-making in the context of cardiac MRI for suspected myocarditis., Methods: This retrospective study includes CMR reports from 396 patients with suspected myocarditis and eight centers, respectively. CMR reports and patient data including blood values, age, and further clinical information were provided to GPT-4 and radiologists with 1 (resident 1), 2 (resident 2), and 4 years (resident 3) of experience in CMR and knowledge of the 2018 Lake Louise Criteria. The final impression of the report regarding the radiological assessment of whether myocarditis is present or not was not provided. The performance of Generative pre-trained transformer 4 (GPT-4) and the human readers were compared to a consensus reading (two board-certified radiologists with 8 and 10 years of experience in CMR). Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were calculated., Results: GPT-4 yielded an accuracy of 83%, sensitivity of 90%, and specificity of 78%, which was comparable to the physician with 1 year of experience (R1: 86%, 90%, 84%, p = 0.14) and lower than that of more experienced physicians (R2: 89%, 86%, 91%, p = 0.007 and R3: 91%, 85%, 96%, p < 0.001). GPT-4 and human readers showed a higher diagnostic performance when results from T1- and T2-mapping sequences were part of the reports, for residents 1 and 3 with statistical significance (p = 0.004 and p = 0.02, respectively)., Conclusion: GPT-4 yielded good accuracy for diagnosing myocarditis based on CMR reports in a large dataset from multiple centers and therefore holds the potential to serve as a diagnostic decision-supporting tool in this capacity, particularly for less experienced physicians. Further studies are required to explore the full potential and elucidate educational aspects of the integration of large language models in medical decision-making., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interests The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: David Maintz received speaker’s honoraria from Philips Healthcare.

- Abstract
Background and Objectives: In light of limited intensive care capacities and a lack of accurate prognostic tools to advise caregivers and family members responsibly, this study aims to determine whether automated cerebral CT (CCT) analysis allows prognostication after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest., Methods: In this monocentric, retrospective cohort study, a supervised machine learning classifier based on an elastic net regularized logistic regression model for gray matter alterations on nonenhanced CCT obtained after cardiac arrest was trained using 10-fold cross-validation and tested on a hold-out sample (random split 75%/25%) for outcome prediction. Following the literature, a favorable outcome was defined as a cerebral performance category of 1-2 and a poor outcome of 3-5. The diagnostic accuracy was compared with established and guideline-recommended prognostic measures within the sample, that is, gray matter-white matter ratio (GWR), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and neurofilament light chain (NfL) in serum., Results: Of 279 adult patients, 132 who underwent CCT within 14 days of cardiac arrest with good imaging quality were identified. Our approach discriminated between favorable and poor outcomes with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.73 (95% CI 0.59-0.82). Thus, the prognostic power outperformed the GWR (AUC 0.66, 95% CI 0.56-0.76). The biomarkers NfL, measured at days 1 and 2, and NSE, measured at day 2, exceeded the reliability of the imaging markers derived from CT (AUC NfL day 1: 0.87, 95% CI 0.75-0.99; AUC NfL day 2: 0.90, 95% CI 0.79-1.00; AUC NSE day: 2 0.78, 95% CI 0.62-0.94)., Discussion: Our data show that machine learning-assisted gray matter analysis of CCT images offers prognostic information after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Thus, CCT gray matter analysis could become a reliable and time-independent addition to the standard workup with serum biomarkers sampled at predefined time points. Prospective studies are warranted to replicate these findings.

- Abstract
Purpose: Multi-sac aneurysms (MSAs) are not uncommon, but studies on their management are scarce. This study aims to evaluate and compare the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of MSAs treated with either clipping or coiling after interdisciplinary case discussion at our center., Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed MSAs treated by microsurgical clipping, coiling, or stent-assisted coiling (SAC). Treatment modalities, complications, angiographic results, and clinical outcomes were evaluated. Major neurological events were defined as a safety endpoint and complete occlusion as an efficacy endpoint., Results: Ninety patients (mean age, 53.2±11.0 years; 73 [81.1%] females) with MSAs met our inclusion criteria (clipping, 50; coiling, 19; SAC, 21). Most aneurysms were located in the middle cerebral artery (48.9%). All clipping procedures were technically successful, but endovascular treatment failed in 1 coiling case, and a switch from coiling to SAC was required in 2 cases. The major event rates were 4.0% after clipping (1 major stroke and 1 intracranial hemorrhage) and 0% after endovascular therapy (P=0.667). At mid-term angiographic follow-up (mean 12.0±8.9 months), all 37 followed clipped aneurysms were completely occluded, compared to 8/17 (41.7%) after coiling and 11/15 (73.3%) after SAC (P<0.001). Coiling was significantly associated with incomplete occlusion in the adjusted analysis (odds ratio, 11.7; 95% confidence interval, 2.7-52.6; P=0.001)., Conclusion: Both endovascular and surgical treatment were feasible and safe for MSAs. As coiling was associated with comparatively high recanalization rates, endovascular treatment may be preferred with stent support.

- Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical application of Compressed SENSE accelerated single-breath-hold LGE with 3D isotropic resolution compared to conventional LGE imaging acquired in multiple breath-holds., Material & Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center study including 105 examinations of 101 patients (48.2 ± 16.8 years, 47 females). All patients underwent conventional breath-hold and 3D single-breath-hold (0.96 × 0.96 × 1.1 mm
3 reconstructed voxel size, Compressed SENSE factor 6.5) LGE sequences at 1.5 T in clinical routine for the evaluation of ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. Two radiologists independently evaluated the left ventricle (LV) for the presence of hyperenhancing lesions in each sequence, including localization and transmural extent, while assessing their scar edge sharpness (SES). Confidence of LGE assessment, image quality (IQ), and artifacts were also rated. The impact of LV ejection fraction (LVEF), heart rate, body mass index (BMI), and gender as possible confounders on IQ, artifacts, and confidence of LGE assessment was evaluated employing ordinal logistic regression analysis., Results: Using 3D single-breath-hold LGE readers detected more hyperenhancing lesions compared to conventional breath-hold LGE ( n = 246 vs. n = 216 of 1,785 analyzed segments, 13.8% vs. 12.1%; p < 0.0001), pronounced at subendocardial, midmyocardial, and subepicardial localizations and for 1%-50% of transmural extent. SES was rated superior in 3D single-breath-hold LGE (4.1 ± 0.8 vs. 3.3 ± 0.8; p < 0.001). 3D single-breath-hold LGE yielded more artifacts (3.8 ± 1.0 vs. 4.0 ± 3.8; p = 0.002) whereas IQ (4.1 ± 1.0 vs. 4.2 ± 0.9; p = 0.122) and confidence of LGE assessment (4.3 ± 0.9 vs. 4.3 ± 0.8; p = 0.374) were comparable between both techniques. Female gender negatively influenced artifacts in 3D single-breath-hold LGE ( p = 0.0028) while increased heart rate led to decreased IQ in conventional breath-hold LGE ( p = 0.0029)., Conclusions: In clinical routine, Compressed SENSE accelerated 3D single-breath-hold LGE yields image quality and confidence of LGE assessment comparable to conventional breath-hold LGE while providing improved delineation of smaller LGE lesions with superior scar edge sharpness. Given the fast acquisition of 3D single-breath-hold LGE, the technique holds potential to drastically reduce the examination time of CMR., Competing Interests: RG: Research support and speakers bureau, Philips Healthcare.

- Abstract
Objective: To compare the measurement of aortic diameters using a novel flow-independent MR-Angiography (3D modified Relaxation-Enhanced Angiography without Contrast and Triggering (modified REACT)) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in Marfan syndrome (MFS) patients., Material and Methods: This retrospective, single-center analysis included 46 examinations of 32 MFS patients (mean age 37.5 ± 11.3 years, 17 women, no prior aortic surgery) who received TTE and 3D modified REACT (ECG- and respiratory-triggering, Compressed SENSE factor 9 for acceleration of image acquisition) of the thoracic aorta. Aortic diameters (sinus of Valsalva (SV), sinotubular junction (STJ), and ascending aorta (AoA)) were independently measured by two cardiologists in TTE (leading-edge) and two radiologists in modified REACT (inner-edge, using multiplanar reconstruction). Intraclass correlation coefficient, Bland-Altman analyses, and Pearson's correlation (r) were used to assess agreement between observers and methods., Results: Interobserver correlation at the SV, STJ, and AoA were excellent for both, TTE (ICC = 0.95-0.98) and modified REACT (ICC = 0.99-1.00). There was no significant difference between TTE and modified REACT for diameters measured at the SV (39.24 ± 3.24 mm vs. 39.63 ± 3.76 mm; p = 0.26; r = 0.78) and the STJ (35.16 ± 4.47 mm vs. 35.37 ± 4.74 mm; p = 0.552; r = 0.87). AoA diameters determined by TTE were larger than in modified REACT (34.29 ± 5.31 mm vs. 30.65 ± 5.64 mm; p < 0.01; r = 0.74). The mean scan time of modified REACT was 05:06 min ± 02:47 min, depending on the patient's breathing frequency and heart rate., Conclusions: Both TTE and modified REACT showed a strong correlation for all aortic levels; however, at the AoA, diameters were larger using TTE, mostly due to the limited field of view of the latter with measurements being closer to the aortic valve. Given the excellent interobserver correlation and the strong agreement with TTE, modified REACT represents an attractive method to depict the thoracic aorta in MFS patients., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest Kilian Weiss: Employee, Philips GmbH.

- Abstract
Background: This retrospective study investigates the efficacy and safety of the novel Celt ACD
® vascular closure device (VCD) following antegrade and retrograde common femoral artery (CFA) punctures for the treatment of peripheral artery disease in a challenging patient collective (e.g. calcifications, obesity, and anticoagulation)., Methods: A total of 208 VCDs (i.e. 100 antegrade and 108 retrograde) were deployed between October 2019 and December 2020 in a tertiary referral interventional radiology department. Fifty-two devices were undersized in relation to the introducer sheath (up to 2 Fr). Technical success and VCD related complications were evaluated in the immediate post procedure period and the following 24 h clinically. In 68% of cases, additional duplex ultrasound was performed prior to discharge., Results: The overall technical success rate was 97%. Technical failures following antegrade approach were due to a too acute access angle (⩾60°), rendering it impossible to pass the applicator tip through the sheath lumen. A subgroup analysis of technical success pinpoints severe calcification as another key limiting factor in VCD use ( p = 0.004). Comparing equally sized with undersized device selection ( p = 0.196), direction of approach ( p = 0.265), and body mass index ( p = 0.184) proved to be insignificant. Five (2%, 5/208) major complications occurred: Four antegrade (i.e. one false aneurysm, one vessel laceration with retroperitoneal hemorrhage, two device migrations; 4%, 4/100) and one following retrograde access (i.e. >6 cm hematoma, 1%, 1/108)). Complications were successfully managed with manual compression or interventional procedures., Conclusions: The novel clip-based VCD proved to be effective with a low VCD related complication rate.- Published

Different arterial cannulation strategies are feasible for veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in postcardiotomy shock. We aimed to analyze potential benefits and safety of different arterial cannulation strategies. We identified 158 patients with postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock requiring VA-ECMO between 01/10 and 01/19. Eighty-eight patients were cannulated via axillary or femoral artery (group P), and 70 centrally via the ascending aorta directly or through an 8 mm vascular graft anastomosed to the ascending aorta (group C). Demographics and operative parameters were similar. Change of cannulation site for Harlequin's syndrome or hyperperfusion of an extremity occurred in 13 patients in group P but never in group C (p = 0.001). Surgical revision of cannulation site was also encountered more often in group P than C. The need for left ventricular (LV) unloading was similar between groups, whereas surgical venting was more often implemented in group C (11.4% vs. 2.3, p = 0.023). Stroke rates, renal failure, and peripheral ischemia were similar. Weaning rate from ECMO (52.9% vs. 52.3%, p = NS) was similar. The 30 day mortality was higher in group P (60% vs. 76.1%, p = 0.029). Central cannulation for VA-ECMO provides antegrade flow without Harlequin's syndrome, changes of arterial cannula site, and better 30 day survival. Complication rates regarding need for reexploration and transfusion requirements were similar., Competing Interests: Disclosure: The authors have no conflicts of interest to report., (Copyright © ASAIO 2020.)
