Prevalence and Evolution of Susceptibility‐Weighted Imaging Lesions in Patients With Artificial Heart Valves

Prevalence and Evolution of Susceptibility‐Weighted Imaging Lesions in Patients With Artificial Heart Valves

Background In patients with mechanical heart valves, cerebral susceptibility‐weighted imaging (SWI) lesions on magnetic resonance imaging, postulated to be caused by degenerative metallic abrasion, are frequently referred to as valve abrasion. It remains unclear whether valve implantation not requir...
