This study measured contrast media absorption during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures. Lopamidol showed a slight, non-significant absorption advantage over Meglumine iothalamate, with absorption rates varying by procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pharmacology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Contrast media are essential for diagnostic imaging procedures.
  • Systemic absorption of contrast media can lead to adverse reactions.
  • Understanding absorption rates is crucial for patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the absorption rates of two iodinated contrast media: lopamidol and meglumine iothalamate.
  • To evaluate contrast media absorption during specific endoscopic procedures: endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC), endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP), and ERCP.
  • To assess the clinical significance of observed absorption differences.

Main Methods:

  • A double-blind study design was employed.
  • 33 patients received lopamidol (Solutrast 300) and 30 patients received meglumine iothalamate (Conray 60).

  • Absorption rates were measured during ERC, ERP, and ERCP procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • Regular absorption of both contrast media was observed across all evaluated procedures.
    • Lopamidol demonstrated a slight, statistically insignificant advantage in absorption rates compared to meglumine iothalamate.
    • Absorption rates varied significantly by procedure: ERC (0.4–30%), ERP (2.2–18.8%), and ERCP (1.0–30.0%).

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopists must remain vigilant for potential anaphylactoid reactions due to contrast media absorption.
    • While lopamidol showed a trend towards lower absorption, the difference was not statistically significant.
    • The systemic absorption of contrast media, though possible, is relatively infrequent in these specific endoscopic examinations.
