          Abstract

          Several angiographic techniques have been developed to image the arterial system, the commonest using iodinated contrast media. Useful as they may be, they are not without disadvantages. One other modality is angiography using CO 2. Although CO 2 can be used as an alternative contrast medium, delivery systems are expensive to procure. We describe an indigenous and effective delivery system developed at our institute.

              Carbon dioxide digital subtraction angiography: the practical approach.

              CO(2) has developed into a viable alternative to iodinated contrast for digital vascular imaging. Because CO(2) is a gas, it has a unique set of properties that affords certain advantages over iodinated contrast in a variety of settings. However, if CO(2) is used inappropriately, these same properties are associated with a unique set of rare but potentially harmful events. Therefore, it is essential that these unique characteristics be understood in order to employ a few simple precautionary measures. Fortunately, there is a delivery system currently available that is readily assembled and easy to use that ensures the appropriate administration of CO(2). This system, combined with experience, can reduce the greater labor intensity sometimes associated with CO(2) digital subtraction angiography. When it is used appropriately, CO(2) digital subtraction angiography alone or in combination with iodinated contrast offers diagnostic and interventional rewards that are not available with traditional intravascular contrast examinations.
