  • Title: Cine phase-contrast MR to assess portal blood flow in a 10-year-old girl with abdominal aortic coarctation: a case report.
    Author: Clark TW, Culham JA.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 1998 Aug; 28(8):602-4. PubMed ID: 9716632.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 10-year-old girl with repaired abdominal aortic coarctation in whom chronic mesenteric ischemia was clinically suspected. Cine phase-contrast magnetic resonance (MR) was used to determine the difference between fasting and postprandial portal blood flow. Fasting flow rates in the portal vein were normal. After a meal, blood flow in the portal vein increased 226% over the fasting state, showing normal augmentation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first application of this technique to a pediatric setting.
