Deep venous thrombosis and consecutive pulmonary embolism as the first sign of an ovarian cancer: MR angiography using an intravascular contrast agent (CLARISCAN).
We describe a case of progressive deep venous thrombosis and chest pain studied by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiography with the new intravascular contrast medium CLARISCAN (NC100150 Injection). Combined MR venography and angiography demonstrated pelvic vein thrombosis and consecutive pulmonary embolism caused by a large abdominal tumor, diagnosed as an ovarian cancer after surgery. The potential role of an intravascular contrast medium for studying the vascular system in multiple regions of the body within a single examination without the need for bolus timing is discussed. J.
