2 Purpose To prospectively assess the accuracy of cardiac magnetic resonance (cmr) for planimetric and continuity equation measurements of aortic valve area (AVA) in comparison with transthoracic (TTE) and transesophageal (TEE) echocardiography To discuss the role and potential advantages of cmr in the selection of patients for aortic valve replacement Methods and Materials STUDY PROTOCOL A total of 21 patients (15 men, mean age = 65 ± 11 years) with moderate-severe aortic valve stenosis (AVS) revealed by TTE, and scheduled for cardiac surgery, underwent cmr with AVA measurement by planimetric (cine steady-state free precession (SSFP) pulse sequences) and continuity equation (breath-hold phase contrast (PC) fast field echo sequence) methods. In the operating room, after anesthesia induction, a TEE evaluation was performed. TTE AVA is indirectly obtained by Doppler TTE, using the continuity equation (1) on page 14 based on Newton's second law of thermodynamics, involving the conservation of mass. This principle states that the volumetric flow rate through the cardiovascular system is constant, assuming that the blood is incompressible and the conduit is inelastic. Page 2 of 22
3 Based on this principle, definition of AVA by TTE requires three mesurements (2) on page 15: ALVOT: calculated from the measured LVOT diameter (by assuming a circular shape) obtained from a parasternal long axis view. VTILVOT: LVOT velocity measured with pulsed wave Doppler from an apical view (for parallel intercept angle) with the sample volume positioned immediately adjacent to the aortic valve closure plane (to ensure that diameter and flow are measured at the same place). VTIAO: Aortic jet velocity, taking care to obtain the highest velocity signal, indicating a parallel intercept angle [3]. Page 3 of 22
4 Direct planimetry of AVA by cmr and TEE represent an accurate and flow-independent technique for assessment of the severity of aortic stenosis, especially in patients with poor acoustic windows. The planimetry of AVA was defined as the smallest orifice area between the aortic valve cusps at the time of maximal opening in systole. TEE TEE is an invasive technique, usually performed in the operating room, which has limitations in patients with heavily calcified aortic valve leaflets. TEE planimetry of the aortic orifice is performed at the time of maximal opening of the valve during systole (3) on page 15 [4]. Page 4 of 22
5 cmr The high spatial resolution of MRI, along with its inherent ability to distinguish between cardiac structures and the adjacent blood pool without the need for intravenous contrast agent, makes it an excellent means for assessing cardiac valvular anatomy. Additionally, flow-sensitive techniques allow detection of turbulent jets typically seen with valvular stenosis and regurgitation. By combining cine images used for determination of ventricular volumes and phase-contrast images for the quantitation of flow, cardiac MRI can be used as a comprehensive noninvasive, method for assessment of valvular disease [5]. In our institution cmr imaging is performed on a 1.5-T MRI magnet (Achieva; Philips Medical System, Best, Olanda) with a five-element, phased-array cardiac synergy coil for signal reception. For the aortic valve assessment, we use two principal techniques: steady-state free precision (SSFP) and phase-contrast imaging (PC) After localization of the heart using three-plane and oblique survey images, a threechamber view and an oblique coronal view cine image of the aortic outflow tract of the left ventricle are prescribed. These images are used as localizers to prescribe four contiguous cross-sectional cine images of the aortic valve between the outflow tract and the level of the valve tips (4) on page 15. Page 5 of 22
6 The cine images are acquired using a multislice cine steady-state free precession (SSFP) pulse sequence (Gradient-echo) with retrospective vectorcardiographic (VCG) gating during multiple breath holds. A total of 25 cine phases were acquired with a temporal resolution varying between 25 and 50 msec (Tab.1) on page 16. Page 6 of 22
7 The view was considered adequate for planimetry if the aorta had a circular shape and all cusps were visualized simultaneously. TEE and MRI Planimetry of the aortic orifice were performed at the time of maximal opening of the valve during systole (5) on page 16. AVA is also computed from phase-contrast MR images using continuity equation. The technique is based on the principle that spins moving along a magnetic field gradient acquire a phase shift in comparison to stationary spins. The phase shift is proportional to the velocity of the moving spin. Subsequently, two breath hold phase contrast images are acquired in a short-axis plane positioned just beyond the aortic leaflet tips and in the LV outflow tract approximately 1 cm below the aortic annulus. Images are acquired using a cine gradient-echo segmented pulse sequence with retrospective VCG gating and velocity encoding. The velocity encoding is set in the through-plane direction with a maximal encoding velocity of 7 m/ second for the transvalvular phase-contrast image and of 2.5 m/second for the LV outflow tract. For a typical heart rate of 60 bpm, breathhold duration was approximately 20 seconds. If the blood velocities exceed the prescribed encoding velocity aliasing artifact occurs (6) on page 17. As a result, the measurement is not valid even if only a few voxels in the cross section of the vessel are affected [6]. Page 7 of 22
8 A phase (velocity mapping) and a magnitude (anatomy) image are generated simultaneously. Therefore, by tracing the regions of interest instantaneous flow values can be calculated (7) on page 17. REPRESENTATIVE EXAMPLES CASE 1 Page 8 of 22

21 Conclusion CMR have recently emerged as a promising method for evaluation of AS in term of: valvular morphology (as the causes of AS) (11) on page quantification of the "true" dimensions of the anatomical orifice area (planimetric techniques) and the "effective" orifice area (continuity equation measure) and the evaluation of cardiac function. The hemodynamic consequence of all forms of aortic stenosis is concentric left ventricle hypertrophy, characterized by thickening of the left ventricle wall, which can be focal or diffuse and symmetric. cmr assessment of AVA showed a high correlation with echocardiography measurents and has the potential to replace current standard techniques for evaluation of aortic valve stenosis A potential limitation for cmr is represented by the presence of heavy and diffuse valvular calcifications that may impaire a correct planimetric assessment References 1.
