The study sought to evaluate the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with suspected subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) using both contrast-enhanced (CE) MR angiography and phase-contrast (PC) MRI.
Fifteen suspected SSSs from 13 patients were evaluated using CE-MR angiography and PC-MRI. Ten patients also received dynamic CE-MR angiography.
All MRI examinations were technically successful. By combining CE-MR angiography with PC-MRI, 10 SSSs were diagnosed in 9 patients. The delay enhancement dynamic technique predicted SSS with a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 57.1%, 100%, and 72.7%, respectively. Without the dynamic technique, affected delay-enhanced arteries were poorly visualized and could be mistaken for occluded vessels. Retrograde vertebral flow by PC-MRI was used to predict ipsilateral SSS with a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 100%, 60%, and 86.7%, respectively. There were 2 false positives including 1 patient with a proximal total occlusion of the affected vertebral artery and another with brachiocephalic steal syndrome rather than SSS. This suggested that retrograde vertebral flow does not always indicate SSS.
CE-MR angiography combined with PC-MRI is efficacious when evaluating SSS in clinical practice.
本研究旨在通过对比增强磁共振血管造影(CE-MRA)和相位对比磁共振成像(PC-MRI)评估磁共振成像(MRI)对疑似锁骨下动脉盗血综合征(SSS)患者的疗效。
对13例患者的15例疑似SSS进行了CE-MRA和PC-MRI评估。10例患者还接受了动态CE-MRA检查。
所有MRI检查在技术上均获成功。通过将CE-MRA与PC-MRI相结合,在9例患者中诊断出10例SSS。延迟增强动态技术预测SSS的敏感性、特异性和准确性分别为57.1%、100%和72.7%。在没有动态技术的情况下,延迟增强的受累动脉显示不佳,可能被误认为是闭塞血管。PC-MRI显示的椎动脉逆向血流用于预测同侧SSS,其敏感性、特异性和准确性分别为100%、60%和86.7%。有2例假阳性,其中1例患者受累椎动脉近端完全闭塞,另1例患有头臂干盗血综合征而非SSS。这表明椎动脉逆向血流并不总是提示SSS。
在临床实践中评估SSS时,CE-MRA联合PC-MRI是有效的。
