Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Transcatheter Cavopulmonary Shunt

摘要

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) would enable closed-chest percutaneous cavopulmonary anastomosis and shunt by facilitating needle guidance along a curvilinear trajectory, around critical structures, and between a superior vena cava "donor" vessel and a pulmonary artery "target."
