OBJECTIVE Assessment of graft patency with current non-invasive MRA techniques is particularly difficult for evaluating internal mammary artery grafts. Our aim is to determine the accuracy of a contrast enhanced MRA technique is assessing graft patency. METHODS We examined 19 patients with a total of 53 grafts (32 venous/21 arterial), using an ultrafast contrast enhanced 3D gradient-echo technique and compared this with the results of selective angiography. RESULTS Sensitivity of the contrast enhanced method was 95.2% for venous grafts, 94.4% for IMA grafts and 94.8% overall. Specificity was 85.7% overall, 90.9% for venous and 66.7% for IMA grafts. Positive predictive value was 94.4%. CONCLUSIONS Compared with previous studies, visualisation of IMA grafts was improved by using contrast enhanced MRA. In this preliminary study, contrast enhanced MRA proved promising for the assessment of graft patency.
