[Comparison of 2 non-ionic radiographic contrast agents in intravenous subtraction angiography]

A prospective randomised comparison was undertaken of iopromide and iopamidol in intravenous digital subtraction angiography. This revealed that the two contrast agents produced pictures of similar quality. A slightly increased number of side effects in patients with cardio-pulmonary disease was demonstrated in the investigation and a slightly increased number of side effects after injection of iopamidol.
