Short- and Long-term Mortality Risk After Acute Pulmonary Embolism.

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...
