Fatal noncardiogenic pulmonary edema related to nonionic, iso-osmolar iodine contrast medium: one case report
Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema (NCPE) is a rare and life-threatening allergy-like reaction to the intravascular injection of a nonionic radiographic agent. We first describe a very rare case of fatal NCPE afte...

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]

Use of carbon dioxide as an intravascular contrast agent: A review of current literature.
Abstract Use of X-ray contrast allows us to differentiate between two or more adjacent structures on radiographic studies. The X-ray contrast agent can be the one with increase X-ray absorption, like iodine and a barium X-ray contrast agent or the one with decrease X-ray absorption like air and carbon dioxide contrast agent. Each contrast agent possesses different risks and benefits in various ways. Carbon dioxide as an intravascular contrast agent can be used as an alternative intravascular contrast agent and has superior results in some cases. In patients with renal dysfunction or iodinated contrast allergy, the...
