title: Use of gadolinium-based angiography for renal artery stenting in a patient with renal insufficiency: A case report.
abstract: The number of percutaneous diagnostic and interventional procedures performed continues to increase. Despite the use of various methods to reduce the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy, the development of renal failure remains a significant problem with iodinated-based contrast agents. Patients with a baseline renal insufficiency are at considerably higher risk of permanent renal deterioration following exposure to iodinated contrast. The authors report a successful case of percutaneous stenting of the renal artery using a gadolinium-based contrast agent in a high-risk patient with renal insufficiency.
