Popis: Objectives To prospectively compare unenhanced quiescent-interval single-shot MR angiography (QISS-MRA) with contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography (CTA) for contrast-free guidance in transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI). Methods Twenty-six patients (mean age 83 ± 5 years, 15 female [58%]) referred for TAVI evaluation underwent QISS-MRA for aortoiliofemoral access guidance and non-contrast three-dimensional (3D) “whole heart” MRI for prosthesis sizing on a 1.5-T system. Contrast-enhanced CTA was performed as imaging gold standard for TAVI planning. Image quality was assessed by a 4-point Likert scale; continuous MRA and CTA measurements were compared with regression and Bland-Altman analyses. Results QISS-MRA and CTA-based measurements of aortoiliofemoral vessel diameters correlated moderately to very strong (r = 0.572 to 0.851, all p ≤ 0.002) with good to excellent inter-observer reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.862 to 0.999, all p p = 0.041 to κ = 0.866, p r = 0.679 to 0.887, all p ≤ 0.0001) to CTA measurements. Conclusion QISS-MRA provides contrast-free access route evaluation in TAVI patients with moderate to strong correlations compared with CTA and substantial inter-observer agreement. Despite some significant differences in minimal vessel diameters, inter-method agreement for transfemoral accessibility is strong. Combination with 3D whole heart MRI facilitates unenhanced TAVI guidance. Key Points • QISS-MRA and CTA inter-method agreement for transfemoral approach is strong. • QISS-MRA is a very good alternative to CTA and MRA especially in patients with Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiativestages 4 and 5. • Combination of QISS-MRA and 3D “whole heart” MRI facilitates fully unenhanced TAVI guidance.
