  • Objective: To investigate performance characteristics of magnetic resonance angiography, with or without magnetic resonance venography, for diagnosing pulmonary embolism.

  • Magnetic resonance pulmonary angiography and magnetic resonance venography combined have a higher sensitivity than magnetic resonance pulmonary angiography alone in patients with technically adequate images, but it is more difficult to obtain technically adequate images with the 2 procedures.

  • Background: The accuracy of gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance pulmonary angiography and magnetic resonance venography for diagnosing pulmonary embolism has not been determined conclusively.

  • Reference standard diagnosis or exclusion was made by using various tests, including computed tomographic angiography and venography, ventilation-perfusion lung scan, venous ultrasonography, d-dimer assay, and clinical assessment.

  • Technically adequate magnetic resonance angiography and venography had a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 96%, but 52% of patients (194 of 370) had technically inadequate results.

  • A possible drawback seen with studies like ADVANCE-2, the investigators noted, is the sizeable proportion of patients who had suboptimal or no venography after treatment (36% of apixaban and 35% of enoxaparin patients) and therefore couldn't be included in the efficacy analysis.

  • The drugs were continued to 10 to 14 days, at which time venography was planned.
