Clinical demonstration of iCMR guided therapy of aortic coarctation. (A) The large arrow points to the coarctation lesion. (B) A balloon dilatation catheter (double arrows) is positioned across the narrowing. (C and D) The balloon is inflated with a T2*-shortening agent. Panels E (aortic diameter) and F (pressure gradient) show favorable results of iCMR guided balloon angioplasty in 4 out of 5 patients (pre/post indicates measured before/after intervention).
