[Cerebral angiography with the contrast medium vasobrix 32 (ioxitalamate) (author's transl)]

On the basis of angiograms carried out 168 patients, the contrast qualities achieved with the contrast medium, Vasobrix 32 were compared with those of other contrast media used so far. In the case of carotid angiography, Vasobrix 32 allowed better visualisation in the arterial phase than achieved with the contrast media used so far. The superiority of Vasobrix 32 over other substances was even more evident in the venous phase. As regards visualisation of the branches of the small arterial vessels such as the striothalamic branches, the results achieved with Vasobrix 32 were better than with the contrast media used so far and, therefore, a general improvement in visualization can be expected from Vasobrix 32 (Ioxitalamate). Complications with neurological sequelae were not observed, subjective complaints occurring to a slightly lesser extent than in the case of contrast media with a high sodium salt content.
