Magnetic Resonance-Guided Cardiac Interventions Using Magnetic Resonance-Compatible Devices.

The article presents a study which evaluated the safety and efficacy of a magnetic resonance (MR)-safe and compatible passive guide wire in helping MR-guided cardiac interventions in a swine model. Catheter manipulations were monitored in this study. The study concludes that with the availability of the new MR-compatible and safe guide wire, certain percutaneous cardiac interventions will become feasible to perform under MR guidance in the future.
