Filter by:A large number of patients with symptomatic ischaemic heart disease undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to alleviate their symptoms and improve prognosis. Given the progressive nature of coronary disease, bypass grafts can narrow or block over time, leading to chest pain and the need for further invasive coronary angiography. Invasive coronary procedures in patients with bypass grafts can be more complicated due to the variation in bypass graft ostia. This can lead to longer procedure times, with higher doses of contrast and radiation and more discomfort for the patient. The aim of this study is to see if the use of computed tomography cardiac angiography (CTCA) in patients with previous bypass grafts prior to invasive coronary angiography will help make their procedure safer and quicker.
The use of coronary intervention has increased over the last decade. Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) that develops as a result of procedures using intravenous or intra arterial contrast enhancement, or other diagnostic procedures, has been reported to be the third leading cause of acute renal failure in hospitalized patients. It has been hypothesized that this occurs as a result of direct toxicity, oxidative stress, and ischemic injury. Numerous studies have evaluated the incidence of CIN in patients undergoing angiography. There are limited studies in the acute care setting. Therefore, a tool that could identify early risk factors for CIN would be valuable for patient care. Metabolomic profiling is the identification of small molecule metabolites that are altered in response to injury. We hypothetize that urine metabolomic profiles may differ in patients before and after contrast administration coronary intervention.We hypothesized that metabolomic profiles will differ between those patients who develop CIN and those who do not after contrast administration. In addition we believe that metabolomics profiles prior to angiography may identify subjects who will go on to develop CIN and are therefore at higher risk.
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), an acute kidney injury resulting from the administration of intravascular iodinated contrast media, is an important cause of morbidity/mortality following coronary angiographic procedures in high-risk patients. Despite preventative measures intended to mitigate the risk of CIN, there remains a need for an effective intervention. Dietary inorganic nitrate therapy, which through its chemical reduction in the body delivers nitric oxide has shown promise in attenuating CIN, but its effectiveness in preserving long-term renal function is unknown.
To evaluate the benefit for statin use in prevention of of CI-AKI after computed tomography urogram (CTU).
Severe aortic stenosis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality of the elderly affecting approximately 3% of elderly patients with an increasing number of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve interventions. As part of pre-procedural planning these patients undergo CT scans and receive contrast during the procedure. These patients often have baseline renal insufficiency and are high risk of contrast induced nephropathy despite pre-hydration techniques. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of this simple and safe procedure in preventing renal injury in this particular population.

Contrast agent is typically used during routine cardiac intervention in order to enhance the imaging necessary to perform the procedure. Using this contrast agent could lead to kidney injury, called contrast induced nephropathy (CIN). Currently, the methods used to reduce the risk of CIN include reducing the amount of contrast agent used and using a hydration strategy during procedure. A computer-based risk tool has been developed which reports a risk score for the likelihood a person undergoing cardiac intervention gets CIN and a proposed corresponding hydration strategy to reduce the risk of CIN. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the rate of CIN decreases when the treating physician has access to this risk tool during the procedure.
all patient presented with ST elevated myocardial infarction and underwent PPCI will be calculated with CHA2DS2-VASC score and contrast volume / creatinine clearance as apredictive value for Contrast induced nephropathy and the predictive value of these scores will be compared with the approved predictive value of MEHRAN score which is also will be calculated to every patient .
In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the incidence of vena cava inferior diamater on ultrasound guidance of intravascular volume before diagnosis of contrast - enhanced CT for diagnostic purposes in ileus patients and to investigate the incidence and risk of developing contrast nephropathy due to contrast - enhanced CT.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of ischemic preconditioning in the emergency department to prevent contrast induced nephropathy
