Standardisation of Technique and Volume of Iodinated Contrast Administration During Infrainguinal Angioplasty.

Background: Acute Kidney injury is recognised to occur after administration of iodinated contrast during endovascular interventions for peripheral arterial disease. There are no standardised protocols for contrast delivery during infrainguinal angiography.

Objective: The objective of this paper is to review published practice regarding the technique of conventional infrainguinal angiography and intervention, and describe a standard set of subtraction views, injection rates and contrast volumes for infrainguinal angioplasty.
