This document discusses vascular interventions guided by MRI, including:
1) Early experiments with intravascular MRI to image arteries and plaques.
2) The technical challenges of MRI-guided balloon angioplasty and stent placement, such as developing MRI-compatible devices and monitoring procedures.
3) Examples of MRI-guided balloon angioplasty, stent placement, and plaque imaging in human studies.
4) The potential for MRI to guide new treatments like gene therapy delivery to diseased arteries.
