[Use of Gadolinium as a contrast agent in the course of renal arterial angioplasty].
For a 72-year-old patient with chronic renal failure, and a renal artery stenosis, we used gadolinium as a contrast agent to perform a digital subtraction arteriography and subsequent arterial angioplasty. Ten ml of gadolinium were used for the arteriography, and during a second procedure 40 ml for the angioplasty, giving high quality images. Renal function remained stable after the procedure, while blood pressure was easier to control.
