MRIs After Surgery

The FDA recommends that all patients should have regular MRI screenings throughout their lifetime to screen for silent rupture, even if they are not having any apparent problems. Patients should go for their first MRI 3 years after surgery, and then repeatedly every 2 years following.

MRI Sub-Study

As part of the Motiva Clinical Trial, 250 patients will be divided into 7 MRI sites to participate in an MRI Sub-Study. The  MRI  Sub-Study population will be a subset of the treated population selected to obtain MRIs at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 years.
