Non-invasive follow-up evaluation of post-embolized AVM with time-resolved MRA: a case report

Korean J Radiol. 2002 Oct-Dec;3(4):271-5. doi: 10.3348/kjr.2002.3.4.271.

Abstract

We report the hemodynamic assessment in a patient with cerebral arteriovenous malformation using time-resolved magnetic resonance angiography (TRMRA), a non-invasive modality, and catheter-based digital subtraction angiography (DSA), before and after embolization. Comparison of the results showed that TR-MRA produced very fast dynamic images and the findings closely matched those obtained at DSA. For initial work-up and follow-up studies in patients with vascular lesions, TR-MRA and DSA are therefore comparable.
