ObjectiveFor carotid endarterectomy (CEA) patients with renal dysfunction and allergies to contrast media, we developed a preoperative novel method of non-contrast three-dimensional magnetic resonance fusion imaging (NC-3DMRFI) which could describe well blood vessels, plaques, and bony structures even in surgical position. In this study, we examined the usefulness of this method.MethodsWe extracted non-contrast magnetic resonance images of bones, blood vessels, and plaques to create a three-dimensional (3D) fusion image. An image acquired in the normal position and another in the surgical position during CEA were used to create a fusion image. We compared the fusion imaging results with the intraoperative findings of six patients with contrast contraindications received CEA.ResultsPreoperative NC-3DMRFI could clearly show the positions of the carotid bifurcation, the distal end of plaque, and the bony structure in five of the six cases. Intraoperative findings and preoperative fusion imaging results were comparable in all cases where fusion images could be created. The fusion imaging in the surgical position during CEA was useful for preoperative examination, and the surgical space could be secured in the case of a high cervical location.ConclusionThis pilot study showed our novel NC-3DMRFI method is useful for preoperative simulation in CEA, especially in patients with renal dysfunction and allergies to contrast media.
