Transcatheter bidirectional Glenn shunt guided by real-time MRI [PDF]
J Cardiovasc Magn Reson, 2015 Methods Ten swine underwent transcatheter bidirectional Glenn procedures under MRI at 1.5T. An MRI antenna-needle was advanced from the superior vena cava (SVC) into the target pulmonary artery (PA) bifurcation using realtime MRI guidance. A caval-pulmonary sheath introduced endografts.
