At Angiodroid, commitment is more than a value—it is the principle inspiring every innovation in CO2 angiography.
We empower clinicians with safer, reliable, renal-friendly imaging solutions designed for the patients who need them most.
For Angiodroid, commitment is a discipline. It means delivering technologies that are scientifically sound, operationally efficient, and clinically meaningful. It also means understanding the daily challenges of vascular specialists—and responding with clarity, precision, and responsibility.
Our goal is simple: to make safer imaging the global standard of care. Through advanced CO2 delivery systems and continuous research collaboration, we support clinical decision-making where iodinated contrast agents carry unnecessary risk.
Excellence is not an achievement, but a continuous process. We invest in engineering, training, and clinical support to ensure that every Angiodroid system delivers reliability, reproducibility, and operational fluency.
We stand with a global community of clinicians who believe in a safer approach to vascular imaging. Through shared experiences, evidence, and innovation, we are shaping a new culture of responsible angiography.
Our commitment is tangible and measurable. We collaborate with clinical partners worldwide to improve outcomes and make safer imaging practices broadly available.
From humble beginnings to increasingly ambitious goals, Angiodroid has been constanstly raising the bar of what's attainable.
Just like all living beings, we grow and adapt to become the best version of ourselves.
Protecting the more fragile patients and their kidneys is the main driver our company.
As ICM is one of the main casuses of CIN and allergic reactions, Carbon Dioxide has been used since 1971 as unique and most valid alternative to iodine contrast medium in angiography for its totally un-allergic and non-toxic qualities; this is what led Sebastiano Zannoli to found Angiodroid in 2013.
Since then, our mission has taken us all over the world.
Throughout the years, the imaging technology has improved to a point that already impressive CO₂ images are virtually indistiguishable from ICM ones. This is a comparison between ICM and CO₂:
As the world changes, so are we; we're proud to be part of some groundbreaking clinical trials that aim to make the world a safer and healthier place, including:
In the meantime, as Angiodroid reached its 10th year, the company turned from Srl (Limited Liability Company) to SpA (Joint Stock Company); looking back, we went a long way. Looking forward, we still have a long way to go, and we'll always have, because evolution never stops.
Not all patients are the same: many of them are more fragile than others, and it's Angiodroid's goal to preserve their health in the safest way.
That is the meaning behind #SaveTheKidneys, our tagline.
Recent data highlights a significant challenge: in 2021, 11% of the world's adult population—approximately 537 million people—were living with diabetes. This number is projected to rise to 12% (783 million people) by 2045. For many of these individuals, diabetes does not exist in isolation. It often brings complex comorbidities that require specialized care.
The relationship between diabetes and other chronic conditions is profound. Notably:
These "fragile patients" require optimized treatment options to protect their overall health, particularly their kidney function.
When diabetic patients with CKD must undergo endovascular procedures, the choice of contrast media is critical. Traditional iodinated contrast media can increase the risk of contrast-induced Acute Kidney Injury (AKI).
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) offers a significant clinical advantage in these cases, because it avoids the risks associated with iodinated media.
In the month of World Kidney Day, the focus for us remains on providing "best-in-class care" for vulnerable patients all around the world.
By prioritizing kidney health and utilizing alternatives like CO₂ when appropriate, medical professionals can better serve the millions of people navigating the complexities of chronic diseases.
There is no motivation like preservation
At Angiodroid, innovation doesn’t stop at technology. It extends to people—how they learn, how they grow, and how they apply knowledge in real clinical environments.
We believe that advancing CO₂ angiography requires more than delivering cutting-edge solutions. It requires empowering the professionals who use them.
That’s why continuous education is at the core of what we do.
Through hands-on workshops, live case discussions, and dedicated training programs, we support interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, and medical staff in mastering CO₂-based procedures, safely, effectively, and confidently.


Training at Angiodroid is not only external—it’s deeply internal.
Across our teams and departments, we foster a culture of continuous learning:
Because when our people grow, the value we deliver to healthcare professionals grows with them.


CO₂ is a powerful alternative in vascular imaging. But confidence in its use comes from experience, guidance, and repetition.
That's why we created the ACDA Academy, a growing and varied community which involves not only cardiologists, radiologists and vascular surgeons, but also scholars, professors and experts in the field of angiography and radiological imaging.
This community was established to pursue three goals:
A continuous journey.
A shared mission.
A commitment to better outcomes through knowledge.
