چکیده

A 57-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for evaluation and management of stroke in the setting of an atrial septal defect. Shortly after receiving gadobenate dimeglumine for magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvic vessels, he experienced cardiac arrest from which he was resuscitated. His course was complicated by profound distributive shock. The presumed cause was a severe anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reaction to the gadolinium-based compound that he received.

Incidence of immediate gadolinium contrast media reactions.

OBJECTIVE Our objective was to determine the incidence of immediate adverse events for gadolinium-based contrast agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS All gadolinium-based contrast agent adverse events reported to radiology quality assurance committees were graded according to American College of Radiology criteria and divided by the total number of injections to determine incidence during the past 1...

Multicenter, intraindividual comparison of single-dose gadobenate dimeglumine and double-dose gadopentetate dimeglumine for MR angiography of the supra-aortic arteries (the Supra-Aortic VALUE study).

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Gadobenate dimeglumine has markedly higher R1 relaxivity compared to gadopentetate dimeglumine meaning that lower doses can be used to achieve similar contrast enhancement. Our aim was to prospectively compare single-dose gadobenate dimeglumine with double-dose gadopentetate dimeglumine for contrast-enhanced MRA of the supra-aortic vasculature. MATERIALS AND METHODS For...

Residual pituitary adenomas after surgical treatment: improved depiction with gadobenate dimeglumine compared to gadopentetate dimeglumine

Purpose: Pituitary Adenomas account for 10-15% of all intracranial primitive neoplastic lesions. Surgical debulking is often the first approach to management. However, residual adenomatous tissue after surgery can be detected in up to 50% of cases and is clearly associated with a high risk of tumor recurrence. Gamma knife surgery is frequently a good therapeutic option in these cases since the ...

Nebulized liposomal gadobenate dimeglumine contrast formulation for magnetic resonance imaging of larynx and trachea

BACKGROUND To develop a lipid-stabilized contrast formulation containing gadobenate dimeglumine for clear visualization of the mucosal surfaces of the larynx and trachea for early diagnosis of disease by magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS The contrast formulation was prepared by loading gadobenate dimeglumine into egg phosphotidylcholine, cholesterol, and sterylamine nanoliposomes using the ...

Contrast-enhanced MR imaging of brain lesions: a large-scale intraindividual crossover comparison of gadobenate dimeglumine versus gadodiamide.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The higher relaxivity of gadobenate dimeglumine compared with gadodiamide is potentially advantageous for contrast-enhanced brain MR imaging. This study intraindividually compared 0.1-mmol/kg doses of these agents for qualitative and quantitative lesion enhancement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adult patients with suggested or known brain lesions underwent 2 identical MR imagi...
