Myocardial Stress Perfusion MRI: Experience in Pediatric and Young-Adult Patients Following Arterial Switch Operation Utilizing Regadenoson.

Abstract：

:Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) is one of the most common cyanotic heart lesions. The arterial switch operation (ASO) is the preferred surgical palliation for D-TGA. One of the primary concerns following the ASO is complications arising from the coronary artery transfer. There is a need for myocardial perfusion assessment within ASO patients. There is no report on the utility of regadenoson as a stress agent in children following ASO. Our objective was to observe the safety and feasibility of regadenoson as a pharmacologic stressor for perfusion cardiac MR in a pilot cohort of pediatric and young-adult patients who have undergone ASO. We reviewed our initial experience with regadenoson stress cardiac MR in 36 pediatric and young-adult patients 15.1 ± 4.5 years (range 0.2-22 years) with history of ASO. The weight was 61.6 ± 21.5 kg (range 3.8-93 kg). All patients underwent cardiac MR because of concern for ischemia. Subjects' heart rate and blood pressure were monitored and pharmacologic stress was induced by injection of regadenoson. We evaluated their hemodynamic response and adverse effects using changes in vital signs and onset of symptoms. A pediatric cardiologist and radiologist qualitatively assessed myocardial perfusion and viability images. All stress cardiac MR examinations were completed without adverse events. Resting heart rate was 72 ± 13 beats per minute (bpm) and rose to peak of 120 ± 17 bpm (95 ± 50% increase, p < 0.005) with regadenoson. Image quality was considered good or diagnostic in all cases. A total of 11/36 (31%) patients had a perfusion defect on the stress FPP images. 14 of the 36 patients (39%) underwent cardiac catheterization within 6 months of the CMR and the findings showed excellent agreement. Regadenoson may be a useful coronary hyperemia agent to utilize for pediatric patients following arterial switch procedure when there is concern for ischemia. The ability to administer as a single bolus with one IV makes it advantageous in pediatrics. In a limited number of cases, regadenoson stress perfusion showed excellent agreement with cardiac catheterization.
