Magnetic resonance evaluation of patency of stented polytetrafluoroethylene graft connecting right atrium to pulmonary artery.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to evaluate late postoperative patency of a stented polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft, which had been used to connect the right atrium to the pulmonary artery in a patient with tricuspid atresia. The MRI depicted patency, luminal size, course, and geometric morphology of the conduit.
