Renal embolization: a study of the interaction of contrast media and ethanol.
In a lethal case of peripheral embolization of the leg and the inferior mesenteric artery after ethanol embolization of the left kidney, we thought that contrast media might have been part of the cause of the peripheral complications as a result of flocculation of the contrast media and secondary dislocation of friable thrombotic material. The interactions of ethanol with different contrast media were tested.
