Title
A comparative study of MRI-induced RF heating in pediatric and adult populations with epicardial and endocardial implantable electronic devices.
Abstract
Patients with congenital heart defects, inherited arrhythmia syndromes, and congenital disorders of cardiac conduction often receive a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED). At least 75% of patients with CIEDs will need magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during their lifetime. In 2011, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the first MR-conditional CIEDs for patients with endocardial systems, in which leads are passed through the vein and affixed to the endocardium. The majority of children, however, receive an epicardial CIED, where leads are directly sewn to the epicardium. Unfortunately, an epicardial CIED is a relative contraindication to MRI due to the unknown risk of RF heating. In this work, we performed anthropomorphic phantom experiments to investigate differences in RF heating between endocardial and epicardial leads in both pediatric and adult-sized phantoms, where adult endocardial CIED was the control. Clinical Relevance-This work provides a quantitative comparison of MRI RF heating of epicardial and endocardial leads in pediatric and adult populations.
