title: Serum concentration of iopamidol after retrograde urethrography in male patients with outlet obstructive symptoms.
abstract: 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.
