Percutaneous coronary intervention using iso-osmolar contrast agent in an end-stage renal failure patient: a case report

Managing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in end-stage renal failure (ESRF) patients poses challenges, particularly the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This case highlights the successful use of iodixanol, an iso-osmolar contrast agent, in...

Description
Summary:Managing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in end-stage renal failure (ESRF) patients poses challenges, particularly the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This case highlights the successful use of iodixanol, an iso-osmolar contrast agent, in an ESRF patient who declined dialysis with no renal function deterioration. It underscores the potential of iodixanol in safely managing high-risk patients, offering insights for clinical practice.
