OBJECTIVE To describe the appearance of lower extremity runoff vessels following subintimal recanalization (SIR) on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (ceMRA) and compare 2 different ceMRA techniques. METHODS A total of 6 patients underwent stepping table 3-dimensional (3D) ceMRA and time-resolved 2-dimensional (2D) MRA within 1 to 3 days (mean 1.83 days) following SIR. The 2 techniques were compared with intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA). RESULTS A total of 15 arteries were recanalized in 6 patients. Three-dimensional ceMRA allowed evaluation of patency in all segments above the knee. Postprocedural hyperemia impaired the assessment of the trifurcation vessels on 3D ceMRA. Due to its higher temporal resolution 2D MRA was not affected by venous contamination and allowed reliable confirmation of patency of the recanalized vessels. CONCLUSIONS Diagnostic MRA studies of the lower extremity runoff vessels following SIR is possible, but a hybrid technique using a stepping table MR DSA and a time-resolved sequence like 2D MRA of the calf station is necessary for runoff assessment.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
