Serum concentration of iopamidol after retrograde urethrography in male patients with outlet obstructive symptoms.
Serum concentration of iopamidol was measured in 29 male patients with outlet obstructive symptoms after retrograde urethrography. Although no patient showed extravasation, serum iopamidol level was detectable in 4 (14%) patients. Since severe adverse effects are considerably reduced with iopamidol, we prefer to use this contrast medium for retrograde urethrography in male patients with outlet obstructive symptoms.
