Initial human success supports feasibility of MR-guided interventions; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does a newly developed MR-safe and compatible passive guide wire allow safe and effective solely MR-guided cardiac interventions in swine and humans?
A newly developed MR-safe and compatible passive guide wire enables solely MR-guided percutaneous cardiac interventions, demonstrated successfully in a swine model and two first-in-man cases.
