Brief summary

The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Dotarem enhanced MRA in patients suffering from carotid or vertebral arterial disease.

Detailed description

Each subject will undergo a Time Of Flight (TOF) Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) followed by a Dotarem enhanced MRA

Interventions

Each subject will receive one injection of Dotarem 0.2ml/kg

OTHERTOF MRA

Each subject will undergo a Time Of Flight Magnetic Resonance Angiography (TOF MRA)

Recruitment details

First patient first visit: 28 Oct 2009. Last patient last visit: 12 Oct 2010. Location: radiology departments

Pre-assignment details

A total of 211 patients fulfilling the eligibility criteria were enrolled, of which 187 patients received Dotarem and completed the study. Twenty-four patients did not receive Dotarem and were discontinued prematurely.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
TOF MRA Followed by Dotarem-enhanced MRA
Each patient will undergo a Time Of Flight (TOF) Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) followed by a Dotarem-enhanced MRA. Each patient will be scheduled to undergo CTA either before TOF MRA or after Dotarem-enhanced MRA. CTA will be used as standard of truth.
