CO2RT – Virtual Round Table #5 - CIN Risk Symposium

SHARE

This is the fifthLive Round Table about the CO2RT – CO2 Right Technique, held on June 18, 2020.

Dr. Mariano Palena and Prof. Matteo Tozzi led an exclusive discussion about Contrast Induced Nephropathy risk:
– AV access with Automated CO2 Angiography
– how to preserve kidney function even in patients in dialysis.

34:24 – Prof. Tozzi, in your opinion how many patients can we save from Iodine if we consider RRF? Could be more than what we believe?
36:05 – What are the most important image processing features of CO2 imaging: Inversion scale, Roadmap, Bolus chase, peak of opacification or any other?
37:41 – Would you please speak about the safety of using CO2 on dialysis patients, especially for fistulography or central vein angiography in case of ICM hypersensitivity?
39:20 – Final Remarks
