TRICKS Magnetic Resonance Angiography at 3-Tesla for Assessing Whole Lower Extremity Vascular Tree in Patients with High-Grade Critical Limb Ischemia: DSA and TASC II Guidelines Correlations

Figure 2

A 67-year-old male with ischemic rest pain and poor healing of the right foot. (a) Targeted peak arterial time frame of T-MRA of the right distal runoff station in oblique reconstruction demonstrating occlusion of posterior tibial artery and distal third of the anterior tibial and peroneal arteries (arrow). Plantar artery is not visible while dorsalis pedis is patent (open arrow). (b) Corresponding DSA demonstrating similar findings to the infrapopliteal portion. The pedal vessels are not opacified. Subsequent surgery confirmed patency of dorsalis pedis artery as demonstrated on T-MRA.
