Impact of IVUS on Complications (NEW)

This graphic illustrates the influence of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) on different complications in lower extremity procedures. It compares outcomes such as death, amputation rate, amputation below the knee (BTK), amputation above the knee, and minor amputations between cases with IVUS use and cases without IVUS use. The study findings demonstrate a consistent trend: the utilization […]

Meta-Analysis of the Effect of Automated Contrast Injection Devices Versus Manual Injection (NEW)

Background: Contrast-sparing devices have been slowly adopted into routine patient care. Randomized trial evidence of automated contrast injectors (ACIs) has not been analyzed to evaluate the true reduction in contrast volume during coronary angiography and intervention. It has been thought that reducing the amount of contrast exposure will result in a simultaneous reduction in the […]

Automated Contrast Injection in Contemporary Practice During Cardiac Catheterization and PCI (NEW)

This document focuses on contemporary measures, including automated contrast injection (ACI) systems, to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) following catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The use of automated contrast injection systems, such as the ACIST CVi® Contrast Delivery System, can effectively decrease the volume of contrast used during procedures. It remains uncertain whether lower contrast […]
