Gadofosveset trisodium: abdominal and peripheral vascular applications

The purpose of this review is to illustrate various applications of gadofosveset trisodium in evaluating abdominal and peripheral vascular disease. The basic properties, technical considerations, and clinical and potential future applications of gadofosveset are described. Gadofosveset trisodium facilitates comprehensive high-resolution arterial and venous MR angiography. Because of its prolonged intravascular residence time, gadofosveset trisodium is particularly useful for evaluating venous, dynamic, and functional vascular disease with a single low-dose contrast injection.
