Multicenter StudyComparison of contrast-enhanced MR angiography to intraarterial digital subtraction angiography for evaluation of peripheral arterial occlusive disease: results of a phase III multicenter trial.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 0.1 mmol/kg gadodiamide administration for contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) in detecting hemodynamically relevant main stenosis (ie, > or = 50% or occlusion) of aortoiliac arteries. ⋯ Diagnostic results with CE-MRA were superior and more consistent compared with noncontrast MRA for detecting hemodynamically relevant main stenoses in patients with suspected or proven PAOD and compared favorably with IA-DSA as a reference standard.
