Our goal is to determine the behavior of the stent in the artery wall by resonance. To describe the presence or absence of intra-stent stenosis using 3D TOF sequence of high resolution and fluoro-resonance and to create a protocol using MRI to allow monitoring of the carotid stent. Currently in the study of intra-arterial devices (STENT) there are sequences for observing such devices. However, it is possible to establish appropriate planning for the study of these structures which also evaluate the inside of the stent and provide information which allows us to quantitatively measure the presence or absence of intra stent stenosis or occlusion. The purpose of this research is to find whether the angiographic sequences 3D TOF high resolution and fluoresonance can be useful to demonstrate the above characteristics. Although the diagnosis of these diseases is based on clinical and ultrasound studies that until now have proven effective, this imaging method will enable timely diagnosis help form; included as part of the study methodology and monitoring, since even when the ultrasound is very efficient in the study and monitoring of these devices not without the limitation of requiring highly skilled personnel for its performance and interpretation.
