67 Effects of an Mri Contrast Agent, Gadolinium Dtpa, on Endo-Thelial Cell Function

IONIC AND NON-IONIC CONTRAST AGENT-MEDIATED ENDOTHELIAL INJURY. Quantitative analysis of cell proliferation during endothelial repair

“…However, the incidence of contrast agent‐associated events varies depending on the clinical and hemostasiologic conditions (9, 10). For both complications, endothelial damage is at the forefront as the primary pathophysiologic mechanism (3, 14). To minimize these side effects in routine clinical application, the use of ionic contrast agents has been almost entirely abandoned in favor of non‐ionic contrast agents, which offer greater clinical safety owing to their lower allergic potential (4, 23).…”
