Abstract
Because of its superior soft tissue imaging, MRI has become a valuable diagnostic tool in cardiovascular disease. These strengths make MRI attractive to guide therapeutic catheter-based procedures, both conventional and novel. We review how to configure an interventional MRI suite, how MRI catheter devices differ from conventional radiographic catheters, and finally developments in preclinical and investigational clinical applications.Entities:
