Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a noninvasive vascular imaging technique that is more sensitive than contrast arteriography (CA) for the detection of patent distal runoff vessels. This technique has facilitated performance of MRA-directed bypass procedures for patients who were believed not to be bypass candidates because of the absence of a suitable target vessel on the preoperative CA. The fate of bypasses to these angiographically occult runoff vessels is unknown, however, and it has been proposed that patients with angiographically occult runoff may have aggressive occlusive disease, rendering bypass procedures ultimately futile.
