Exclusion of Thrombosis of the Left Subclavian Vein for Dialysis Shunt
Summary of findings
Condition following right neck dissection and non-delimitable jugular veins, now thrombosis of the proximal jugular vein at the left dialysis shunt arm. In particular, the 4.5 s temporal high-resolution TWIST® MRA in conjunction with Gadofosveset enables excellent differentiation of the individual phases; bolus timing using a test or care bolus is not required.
