Endovascular aneurysm repair assisted by CO2 digital subtraction angiography and intra-operative contrast-enhanced ultrasonography: Single centre experience
We describe our experience combining CO2 assisted EVAR with intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in an attempt to avoid contrast induced allergy or nephropathy.

Endovascular Aortic Repair Follow up Protocol Based on Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound Is Safe and Effective.
CONCLUSIONS: The introduction of a CEUS based protocol for EVAR follow up was safe and effective and it was similar to the previous CTA based follow up protocol with regard to identification of endoleaks in a mid-term period. Moreover, CEUS allowed for 90% reduction of CTA, thereby decreasing radiation exposure for patients. PMID: 29673811 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Intravascular ultrasound guided mesenteric stenting in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease
Endovascular treatment of chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) in patients with impaired renal function or allergy to contrast media is a challenging procedure because angiography requires iodinated contrast media for accurate diagnosis and interventional procedures. Superior mesenteric artery stenting without contrast angiography is described in an 81-year-old female with cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5. Balloon angioplasty and stent placement were performed successfully using intravascular ultrasound, pressure wire, surface ultrasound, and fluoroscopy.
