OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether meglumine-sodium-ioxaglate (Hexabrix) and iopromide (Ultravist) are identically appropriate for peripheral angiography. Outcome variables were pain, image quality and adverse events. METHODS Sixty patients were included in a randomised double-blind study. In all patients an intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (i.a. DSA) of iliac and peripheral arteries was performed. RESULTS Analysis of the study revealed no significant difference between both contrast media in terms of the main and additional outcome variables. In comparison to iopromide, ioxaglate caused milder pain sensations (VAS 4.70 vs. 7.76, p = 0.25). Mild adverse events were observed more frequently in ioxaglate angiography (11% vs. 0%, p = 0.1). CONCLUSIONS Both contrast media seem to be appropriate for peripheral angiography using DSA technique. Ioxaglate causes a cost reduction of about 20-35%. However, an increase of mild adverse reactions up to 11% to 15% has to be accepted.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007472 Iohexol An effective non-ionic, water-soluble contrast agent which is used in myelography, arthrography, nephroangiography, arteriography, and other radiographic procedures. Its low systemic toxicity is the combined result of low chemotoxicity and low osmolality. Compound 545,Exypaque,Iohexol 350,Nycodenz,Omnipaque
D007485 Ioxaglic Acid A low-osmolar, ionic contrast medium used in various radiographic procedures.
