Can a patient with a prosthetic heart valve, annuloplasty ring or a mitra clip undergo an MRI examination? The Dutch Association of Medical Specialists (FMS) wrote a guideline, using searches of guidelines, literature, implant databases, and incident databases. The recommendation is: scan the patient with a prosthetic heart valve, annuloplasty ring or mitra clip with an 1.5T or 3T whole body MRI system with a horizontal closed bore superconducting magnet without further restrictions.
