Aims To evaluate the pre-clinical feasibility of real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rtMRI) to guide stent-graft placement for experimental aortic dissection (AD) and to alleviate disadvantages of ionising radiation and nephrotoxic contrast media. Endovascular stent-graft placement for thoracic aortic disease is usually performed under X-ray guidance. The feasibility of rtMRI-guided stent-graft placement is currently not known.

Keywords: Magnetic resonance imaging; Endovascular aortic dissection; Stent-graft intervention.
