Abstract
We present multimodal imaging in the rare case of isolated unilateral pulmonary vein atresia in a 6 year-old boy, including analysis of hemodynamics by magnetic resonance acquisition technique of time-resolved three-dimensional phase contrast imaging (4D flow magnetic resonance imaging). This novel imaging method enables the quantification and especially comprehensive visualization of blood flow patterns, even in complex congenital anomalies which abducted detailed assessment so far, and therefore constitutes a promising alternative to conventional vascular imaging techniques.
