  • Title: Magnetic resonance angioplasty for prepharyngoplasty assessment in velocardiofacial syndrome.
    Author: Krugman ME, Brant-Zawadski M.
    Journal: Cleft Palate Craniofac J; 1997 May; 34(3):266-7. PubMed ID: 9167080.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The assessment of the posterior pharyngeal vasculature in velocardiofacial syndrome has been traditionally based on endoscopic visualization of pulsations or conventional angiography. This case report describes the utility of presurgical imaging with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) prior to performing pharyngoplasty. CONCLUSION: The use of the MRA data presurgically is an effective way to prevent bleeding complications during pharyngoplasty.
