Patient example. WB-MRA of a 63 year old male with stenosis of the left common iliac artery (A, red arrow), occlusion of both superficial femoral arteries (B, blue arrows) with collateralization by the profund femoral arteries (blue arrowheads) and occlusion of the right posterior tibial artery (C, green arrow) with collaterals from the anterior tibial artery (C, green arrowhead). The patient did not complain about claudicatio at the time of the exam. Based on the results of WB-MRA regular angiological follow-ups were initiated. About 1 year after the MRA angioplasty of the left iliac artery was performed. Coronary angiography revealed 3-vessel disease and the patient underwent PCI of the left anterior descending artery. ASI and PROCAM Score were high.
