Safety of contrast agent use during stress echocardiography in patients with elevated right ventricular systolic pressure: a cohort study.
BACKGROUND Microbubble safety concerns led to changes in product recommendations for patients with pulmonary hypertension. Noninvasive estimation of right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) is equivalent to pulmonary artery systolic pressure in the absence of pulmonary outflow obstruction. We analyzed the short- and long-term outcomes of patients who received microbubble contrast and those wh...
متن کاملSafety of dobutamine stress real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the safety of dobutamine stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) obtained by real-time contrast echocardiography (RTCE) and intravenous ultrasound contrast in a large cohort of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND Despite the increasing number of studies showing the potential clinical utility of myocardial contra...
متن کاملContrast Echocardiography and Clinical Safety
The use of contrast media provides a greater diagnostic yield for echocardiographic techniques.1 In combination with the possibility of performing myocardial perfusion studies, its use can be generalized in stress echocardiography. It therefore leads us to question the safety they afford concerning adverse reactions, an issue that has recently led to the temporary withdrawal from the market of ...

متن کاملLocalized Aortic Root Dissection Secondary to Contrast Agent Injection: Feasibility of Conservative Follow-up With Echocardiography
Introduction: Iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection (ACD) is a nightmare in interventional cardiology. Although ACD is rarely reported, the real-world prevalence is suspected of being higher due to unreported cases. The right coronary artery (RCA) ostium is involved in the majority of cases, and dissections are usually limited to the aortic sinus in half of the clinical presentat...
