Abstract

Results 20 patients (13 male, age 62 ± 9 years) received CMR (Siemens Espree 1.5 T, Germany) before, during and after the PVAI procedure. Using DE-MRI, the average lesion to healthy myocardium ratio was 15.3 ± 7.2% during, and 15.7 ± 6.4% long-term after PVAI. Figure 1 shows an example of MIP of a DE scan in 2D (A-C) and 3D segmentation (D-F) in a anterior view pre (A, D), during (B, E), and long-term after PVAI (C, F). Myocardial injury is idenfrom 13th Annual SCMR Scientific Sessions Phoenix, AZ, USA. 21-24 January 2010
