Summary

This study aims at investigating the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance angiography using the contrast agent Vasovist® in the detection of relevant vascular narrowing of the lower extremity. Patients who have been scheduled for intra-arterial conventional angiography are eligible for this trial.

Detailed description

Patients will only be included into the study if either MRA with extracellular contrast agents, computed tomography angiography, ultrasound or i.a. DSA have been performed beforehand and if the patient has been scheduled for an i.a. DSA to be performed. Vasovist® enhanced MRA imaging will be performed using a state-of-the-art 1.5T MR system. Recruitment, baseline examinations, Vasovist®-enhanced MRA of the vessel segments of interest and follow-up examinations will be performed in up to 8 radiological clinics in Europe. The safety follow-up period will be at least 12 hours but not more than 24 hours post injection of Vasovist® and includes the assessment of physical examinations and vital signs as well as the assessment of AEs. DSA must be carried out at least 12 hours after Vasovist® administration and only after the last follow-up visit has been performed.
