CO holds promise as an effective and versatile angiographic contrast agent. It is also a valuable modality for the guidance of endovascular interventions. Current availability of easy to use, safe, and portable CO delivery systems will likely expand the use of that modality even beyond the traditional indications of renal insufficiency and iodinated contrast allergy.
pressure gradient and volumetric stenosis degree is patient specific and dependent on the specific characteristics of the stenosis and the renal artery. Thus, the same degree of stenosis might be mild for one patient but severe for another patient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
