EE272 Economic Burden Associated with ISO-Osmolar Versus Low Osmolar Iodinated Contrast Media during Peripheral Endovascular Procedures: Evidence from Premier Database

Abstract

Iodinated contrast media are used in most interventional revascularization procedures. Several prior studies have demonstrated lower incidence of adverse clinical outcomes associated with iso-osmolar iodinated contrast media (IOCM) compared with low-osmolar contrast media (LOCM), including a recent analysis in comorbid patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The objective of this study was to evaluate association of IOCM and LOCM use with direct costs and length of hospital stay in PAD patients undergoing endovascular interventions.
