Abstract
Results: No contrast medium was used in any of the procedure. Technical success rate was 100% and no intraoperative complication was observed. All patients had a non-significant increase in the creatinine levels during follow-up (p=0.076). There was a significant difference between the pre- and postoperative ABI values (p=0.028). All patients were followed in the wards after the procedure and were discharged on postoperative Day 1 with symptomatic recovery.
Conclusion: Our study results show that CO2-DSA can be used as an affordable and effective alternative in the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral arterial disease with contraindications for iodinated contrast material.
