Iso-Osmolar Contrast Media and Adverse Renal and Cardiac Events After Percutaneous Cardiovascular Intervention

Iso-Osmolar versus Low-Osmolar Contrast Media in Reducing Contrast Induced Nephropathy in Patient with Renal Impairment Undergoing Coronary Angiography

a risk-scoring model to predict one-year major adverse cardiac events after percutaneous coronary intervention

background: the aim of the present study was to develop a scoring system for predicting 1-year major adverse cardiac events (mace), including mortality, target vessel or target lesion revascularization, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and non-fatal myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention (pci). methods: the data were extracted from a single center pci registry. the ...

Nephropathy after administration of iso-osmolar and low-osmolar contrast media: evidence from a network meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) may be a severe complication to the administration of iodine-based contrast media for diagnostic or interventional procedure using radiation exposure. Whether there is a difference in nephrotoxic potential between the various agents is uncertain. We aimed to perform a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized trials on iod...

Comparison of ionic, monomer, high osmolar contrast media with non-ionic, dimer, iso-osmolar contrast media in ERCP.

OBJECTIVE Pancreatitis is the most common and serious complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Several studies have compared contrast media (CM) with different osmolalities, but the results are conflicting. We conducted this study to clarify the difference between 2 CM used in ERCP. METHODS Five hundred and seventy-six patients were examined by using ERCP in our ...

Renal failure in 57 925 patients undergoing coronary procedures using iso-osmolar or low-osmolar contrast media.

We compared the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry with the Swedish 'Hospital Discharge Register' to assess contrast media (CM)-induced renal failure. Hospitals used only one type CM. From 2000 to 2003, iodixanol (iso-osmolar) was used in 45 485 patients, ioxaglate (low osmolar) in 12 440 subjects. To include the earlier used CM iohexol (low osmolar), analysis extended back t...
