Residual dissection of the thoracic aorta after repair: MRI-angiographic correlation.
Thirteen patients' status post repair of thoracic aortic dissection were studied with both magnetic resonance and angiography. MRI was an accurate modality in identifying residual dissection when aortography was used as the gold standard. MRI can be used as a noninvasive modality for the follow-up of these patients.
