Study of safety and tolerance of iopamidol in peripheral arteriography.
Iopamidol, a non-ionic contrast agent, was evaluated during peripheral arteriography in 10 patients. All reported a sensation of warmth during injection. One described the procedure as moderately painful. All objectively tolerated the injections well, and there were no significant changes in clinical or laboratory findings. Vessel opacification was good to excellent in all cases. The authors suggest that non-ionic contrast agents replace ionic agents for peripheral arteriography.
