Fig. 3D —All images show right common and external iliac artery after implantation of self-expandable nitinol stent (diameter, 10 mm; length, 44 mm) in 66-year-old man. Maximum intensity projection reconstruction of MR angiography image acquired 8 months after stent placement (MR angiography 2) (stent ends marked by arrows) on same day as DSA image in C. Bandlike artifact at distal stent end is not visible any more. Bandlike artifact at proximal stent end is less pronounced than on MR angiography 1 (B) and was correctly identified by all observers. Minor stenosis at proximal stent end can be identified as well as in corresponding DSA image (arrowhead). In-stent signal is less weakened and in-stent signal pattern is more homogeneous than on MR angiography 1. Delineation of inner contour of stent is better than on MR angiography 1. Although individual scanning delay was determined by a timing run for MR angiography 1 and 2, uptake of contrast material by abdominal organs is less pronounced on MR angiography 2 than on MR angiography 1 because of slight differences in timing.
