Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Comparison of the diagnostic specificity between the two diagnostic methods DSA (with Solutrast) as standard and high-contrast MRA (with Vasovist) to evaluate supraaortales arteries;Secondary Objective: - Quantification of the picture used contrast medium Vasovist in atheromatous degeneration of carotid bifurcation and correlation with clinical symptoms - comparison of the late vessel wall enhancement of Magnevist and Vasovist 24 hours after application of contrast medium - correlation of the diagnostic results of MRA used extracellular contrast medium Magnevist and the intravascular contrast medium Vasovist - Safety and tolerance of Vasovist in MRA of spraaortale arteries - Safety of Vasovist concerning renal function (GFR of creatinine and cystatin C);Primary end point(s): Comparison of the diagnostic specificity between the two diagnostic methods DSA (with Solutrast) as standard and high-contrast MRA (with Vasovist) to evaluate supraaortales arteries | — |
