Magnetic resonance imaging is a safe technique in patients with prosthetic heart valves and coronary stents

The paper refers to the safety of MRI in patients with prosthetic heart valves or coronary stents. This condition is commonly regarded as a contraindication for MRI, where patients with these stents or valves are excluded from yielding the diagnostic imaging information provided by one of the most i...
