Abstract
Peripheral vascular interventions (PVI) utilize iodinated contrast medium (ICM) to visualize intravascular lesions and guide therapy. The use of ICM carries a risk of postcontrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI), which is increased in the elderly and in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Furthermore, the risk of PC-AKI increases with the volume of ICM used. This paper reports a 94-year-old patient with CKD stage 4 who presented with chronic limb threatening ischemia. He underwent successful endovascular revascularization using a combination of CO2 and dilute ICM (total volume = 6.5 mL). The case demonstrates strategies to minimize ICM during PVIs.
