  Effects of Carbon Dioxide Angiography on Endothelial Functions in Lower Extremity Arteries via Flow Mediated Vasodilatation
  Author(s): Hakan Gocer*
  
  Introduction: Carbon dioxide angiography is widely used specifically in screening peripheral venous system, lower extremity arteries, visceral arteries and abdominal aorta in patients with renal insufficiency and hypersensitivity to contrast agents. Efficacy and safety was revealed but effects on endothelial functions have not been documented. We aimed to document the effects of carbon dioxide angiography on endothelial functions in lower extremity arteries via noninvasively with flow mediated vasodilatation. Materials and Methods: Sixteen patients with lower extremity arteriosclerosis and renal insufficiency were included. All patients were evaluated with CO2 angiography for peripheral arteriosclerosis. Lower extremity endothelial functions were evaluated noninvasively with flow-mediated vasodilatation from popliteal artery before,.. View More»
