Contrast Medium-Induced Encephalopathy after Coronary Angiography– Case Report

Contrast-Induced Encephalopathy after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

UNLABELLED Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare complication that presents with transient neurologic deficits and is caused by neurotoxicity of intravascular contrast media. The prognosis can be extremely favorable even in comatose patients. We reported a 76-year-old woman admitted for scheduled coronary angiography. The total amount of Optiray contrast media used was 150 mL. Immedia...

Effect of renin-angiotensin-system blockers on contrast-medium-induced acute kidney injury after coronary angiography

BACKGROUND/AIMS With the increasing incidence of cardiovascular disease, angiocardiography using contrast-enhancing media has become an essential diagnostic and therapeutic tool, despite the risk of contrast-medium-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI). CIAKI may be exacerbated by renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) blockers, which are also used in a variety of cardiovascular disorders. This study eva...

A Case of Unusual Presentation of Contrast-induced Encephalopathy after Cerebral Angiography Using Iodixanol

Contrast-induced encephalopathy after cerebral angiography is a rare complication and until now, only few cases have been reported. This paper reports on contras-induced encephalopathy mimicking meningoencephalitis after cerebral angiography by using iodixanol, an iso-osmolar non-ionic contrast agent. A 58-year-old woman underwent cerebral angiography for the evaluation of multiple intracranial...

Contrast-induced encephalopathy after coronary angioplasty and stent implantation

Risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy after coronary angiography.

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is of concern after the use of radiocontrast media for coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We studied the incidence of CIN and its risk factors in patients undergoing CAG. In this prospective study, we included all patients with normal renal parameters undergoing CAG with nonionic radiocontrast media. We excluded patients w...
