Zero-contrast Multivessel Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Intravascular Ultrasound Guidance in a Patient with Acute-on-chronic Kidney Disease: Turn Hopeless into Hopeful

Abstract

Contrast-induced nephropathy is one of the serious complications in patients with renal dysfunction who underwent administration of intravascular contrast media. To overcome this, an approach of drastic reductions in contrast volume and the use of intravascular ultrasound has been adopted in some clinical cases. This report emphasizes the potential benefits of zero-contrast multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention in a patient presenting with acute-on-chronic kidney disease.
