Radiographic contrast media (RCM) can initiate microcirculatory disorders. This study was performed to investigate effects of Ioxaglate on the cutaneous microcirculation. The investigation was carried out as prospective randomized double-blind comparison in parallel-group design on two groups of n = 10 patients each who had to undergo a diagnostic coronary angiography.The confirmatory parameter of the study was mean erythrocyte capillary velocity [vRBC in mm/sec]. VRBC in the ipsilateral nail-fold capillaries was recorded continuously for 3 min before and 6 min after injection of RCM or isotonic saline solution in the A. axillaris respectively, and was evaluated off-line.VRBC in nailfold capillaries was found to be decreased by Ioxaglate by 34% 150 seconds after injection, while isotonic NaCl solution immediately induced a slight increase of 14%.

Background: Nonimmediate hypersensitivity reactions to iodinated contrast media (CM) are common. Allergological evaluation is necessary to confirm the diagnosis and to find a tolerated alternative. The aim of this study was to establish the role of skin testing and the drug provocation test (DPT) in the diagnosis of nonimmediate reactions to CM.

Radiographic contrast media (CM) are necessary to provide x-ray absorption of the bloodstream; all other observed effects need to be regarded as adverse. Four types of CM are currently used in diagnostic and interventional cardiology: ionic high-osmolar CM (HOCM), either ionic or non-ionic low-osmolar CM (LOCM), and non-ionic iso-osmolar CM (IOCM). Focusing on the potential cardiovascular effects caused by the CM, there is a clear difference between HOCM and the LOCM or IOCM.
