Radiation-Free Heart Catheterization Using MRI

NCT02739087 · Status: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2024-02-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Currently catheters used in heart catheterization procedures are guided throughout the heart chambers and blood vessels by pictures taken by x-rays. This technology exposes patients to radiation. With this study protocol the investigators will use MRI technology to take real-time pictures to navigate catheters throughout heart chambers. MRI uses electromagnetic energy; therefore, it does not expose participants to radiation energy.

Conditions

  • Aortic Coarctation
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • Atrial Septal Defect
  • Aortic Stenosis
  • Post Heart Transplant Catheter Procedure
  • Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Interventions

PROCEDURE

MRI guided cardiac catheterization

Magnetic resonance imaging will be used to guide cardiac catheterization procedures whenever possible to avoid or minimize x-ray radiation exposure.
