Recommendations forPrevention
(i) The rst and also the most crucial step in the prevention
of renal injury is the identication of patients at risk for risk stratication as well as justifying the need for the administration of contrast media. Risk stratication should be done based on eGFR/eCr, the presence of dia­betes, AKI, and medications [3, 48].
(ii) Multiple contrast-enhanced studies involving the
administration of multiple ICM doses within a short span of time are associated with an increased risk and should be avoided [34, 35].
(iii) Intravenous normal saline for volume expansion can be
given to reduce the risk of developing AKI prior to con­trast administration [4955].
(iv) If eGFR/eCCr is <60, standard precautions include IV
hydration with normal saline and the use of low or iso­osmolar contrast media. For intra-arterial administra­tion, IOCM may be preferred based on patient tolerance and reduced pain. N-acetyl cysteine administration to prevent nephrotoxic effects is unproven and therefore not recommended [3, 56].
(v) Bicarbonate is not considered superior to normal
saline for the prevention of CA-AKI and is not pre­ferred due to a need for additional formulation prep­aration [3].
(vi) Nephrotoxic medications should be avoided if possible or
modied. In patients with AKI, severe chronic kidney dis­ease (stage IV or V, eGFR <30) or those undergoing pro­cedures with a risk of emboli to the renal arteries, metformin should be temporarily stopped before the pro­cedure and withheld for 48 hours afterwards. It should be resumed only after renal functon is found to be normal on reassessment [57, 58]. Nephrology consultation should be sought for patients having eGFR/eCCr of <30. Efforts should be made to reduce contrast doses during proce­dures. Interventional radiologists should be familiar with the risk factors and diagnostic criteria of CA-AKI and exercise various preventive strategies to minimize the risk.

phy during various interventions. As it is low in viscosity, with appropriate use, CO
is less likely to cause tissue damage [61].

4.3.2 Contraindications
Despite having few advantages over more conventional con­trast agents, CO2 angiography has certain contraindications that need to be understood prior to its application. It is best to not use CO2 in procedures above the diaphragm to minimize the risk of cerebral air embolism whether it is due to a pre­existing right-to-left cardiopulmonary shunt (cardiac septal defect) or due to reux within a carotid or vertebral artery to the brain [62]. To minimize this risk, Trendelenburg’s position should be considered during procedures whenever possible. It should be avoided when nitrous oxide is being used for seda­tion because it decreases the solubility of CO2 in blood and prevents its excretion. It should be used with caution in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension as it can potentially raise the vascular bed pressure with over-administration.
4.3.3 Equipment
Currently, there is a single FDA-approved medical CO2 delivery system available consisting of a CO2 high-pressure reservoir/delivery device and a low-pressure valve called the K-valve [63]. Large medical-grade CO2 cylinders are not FDA-approved. The entry and exit points of the system must be sealed until the physician is ready to connect the system to a catheter. It is imperative to have a trained technologist for handling, setting up, and safely using the CO2 delivery apparatus to ensure patient safety.
4.3.4 Preparation
Fluid (blood/saline) in the angiographic catheter must be purged to prevent vessel dissection from explosive delivery of uid during CO2 angiography [62].
CO2 is a negative contrast agent and can be used alternatively in patients where iodinated contrast agents are contraindi­cated. It was used for the rst time in human subjects in 1956 by Barrera [59] via needle injection, and FDA-approved CO2 delivery systems are now available for administration.
4.3.1 Indication
CO2 is less viscous and a cheaper contrast which can be used to the operator’s advantage. It can be used for arteriography, wedged portal venography, e.g., during TIPS [60], and venogra-
4.3.5 Technique
An end-hole catheter is ideal for CO2 injection in large ves­sels like the aorta, IVC, and pulmonary arteries [62]. Multiple options are available for CO2 delivery from the source, i.e., hand-injection, Bag reservoir delivery system, CO2MMANDER/AngiAssist Portable system, automated injectors, and CO2 Angioset [64]. While using hand injec­tion, the use of a larger syringe (20–30mL) should be pre­ferred to prevent explosive delivery into the vessel due to
compression in the syringe. Similar to conventional
CO

angiography, the CO2 injection rate is also determined by the

caliber and diameter of the vessel as well as that of the capil­lary bed. The following volumes are considered sufcient for corresponding vessels:
(i) 30–40 mL; up to 60 mL sufces for abdominal aorto-
gram/inferior vena cavogram (ii) 20–30mL is sufcient for major aortic branches (iii) 10–20mL for Wedged portal venography via the supe-
rior mesenteric artery
CO2 injections should be administered at least 2min
apart as CO2 dissolves within 30–60s.
Image optimization is crucial in successful CO2 angiogra­phy. It is highly susceptible to motion artifact, and therefore various measures should be taken to reduce peristaltic and respiratory motion, using mask imaging subtraction and using higher frames per second, higher resolution, etc. [64]. It has been advised in various guidelines that monitoring of CO2 retention with capnography (ETCO2) should be done during conscious sedation procedures [65].
4.3.6 Complications
Air embolism during CO2 angiography is one of the most serious complications that can potentially lead to amputation, stroke, myocardial infarction, or in rare cases even death, although the risk is reported to be less than 1% [62]. Other commonly encountered side effects include paresthesia, nau­sea, and tenesmus. Mesenteric arteriography may cause abdominal pain which can be controlled if the patient is rotated from side to side. In case of non-resolving pain, vapor lock should be suspected. It is a phenomenon occurring when gas is trapped intra-arterially due to having a diffusion con­stant which prevents the gas from dissolving in blood and also interrupts blood ow through the gas and eventually might lead to mesenteric infarction if not treated. Mechanically dis­lodging the gas bubble through massage, patient rotation, and/or catheter aspiration should be done. So far, CO2 poison­ing has not been reported in the literature.
variability for estimation of caliber [67], and lower accuracy for determining stenosis and even lesser visualization of infr­apopliteal arteries [68]. There is a need to position the patient accordingly for visualizing the posterior course of arteries as CO2 tends to be lighter and remains on the surface of blood are some of the disadvantages.
4.4 Anticoagulation andAntiplatelet Medications
Prior to any IR procedure, planning and patient assessment are the initial most crucial steps for ensuring a successful outcome of the procedure. Risk stratication includes the type of proce­dure, assessment of coagulation parameters, and various anti­coagulation medications that are indicated for prophylaxis and treatment of vascular diseases (e.g., arterial and venous throm­bosis, cerebral vascular disease, and ischemic heart disease).
The interventional radiologists need to decide on whether to continue or hold the antiplatelet or anticoagulation medications. Therefore, it is indispensable that interventional radiologists be aware of the anticoagulation and antiplatelet medications, their indications, adverse effects, and drug interactions.
Due to wide variations in the assessment of coagulation parameters and subsequent management, society consensus guidelines have been laid down by the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) and the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology Society of Europe (CIRSE) to avoid these discrepancies [6971]. Updated guidelines for anticoagulation status assessment and management have been published by SIR [72, 73].
4.4.1 Thrombolytics
Thrombolytics convert plasminogen into active plasmin, which breaks down the blood clot to treat blockage [74]. These are safe and effective treatments for arterial ischemia, venous thrombosis, massive pulmonary embolism, and acute stroke. They may also be used to clear blocked catheters that are used in long-term medical therapy.
4.3.7 Advantages
Due to lower viscosity, CO2 is more sensitive in situations where there is a low ow system, e.g., arteriovenous stula, slow GI hemorrhage, slow ow in a vessel (e.g., a bypass graft), slow ow endoleak, and tumor blush [64].
4.3.8 Disadvantages
Inaccurate estimation of the vessel caliber when compared with liquid contrast media [66] and a greater inter-observer

4.4.1.1 Classication
Thrombolytic agents are classied into three generations of drugs. The classication of thrombolytics is detailed in Table4.2.
First-Generation Thrombolytic Agents
• Streptokinase: It is a non-brin selective plasminogen activator and therefore degrades brinogen along with other proteins that enhance its action.
• Urokinase: Unlike streptokinase, it activates plasminogen directly and also lacks an antigenic response. However, being a non-selective plasminogen activator, its use can result in a severe lytic state [75].
• Dosage: Bolus—50,000U, Infusion—5000U/h for 12h.
Second-Generation Thrombolytic Agents
• Tissue plasminogen activator: It is a brinolytic agent produced in vivo by endothelial cells and is a 527­amino acid single-chain serine protease. It is involved in maintaining the delicate intravascular balance of thrombolysis and thrombogenesis [76]. It is brin selective and does not activate free plasminogen in blood. The binding of tPA and plasminogen to brin accelerates the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin which causes thrombolysis. Additionally, tPA also has high brin afnity, i.e., it forms a strong bond with brin. Off-label, it is also used for catheter-directed venous and arterial thrombolysis.
• Alteplase (r-tPA) is a commercially available form of tPA, produced with recombinant technology and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [76] for acute myocardial infarction, acute stroke, mas­sive pulmonary embolism, and central venous catheter occlusion. The recommended dosage for catheter­directed thrombolysis: continuous, 0.5–1.0 mg/kg/h (40mg maximum); bolus, 2–5mg bolus, then continu­ous infusion; pulse spray, 0.5mg/mL at 0.2 mL every 30–60s [77].
Third-Generation Thrombolytic Agents
• Tenecteplase, TNK-tPA, is developed by modifying enzy­matic sites on tPA which improves the activity by increas­ing its brin specicity and prolonging its half-life [78]. Due to these, brinogen is depleted to a lesser extent, and a longer half-life allows a single bolus administration rather than continuous intravenous (IV) infusion [78]. Dosage: continuous, 0.125–0.25 mg/h; bolus, 1–5 mg, then continuous infusion [79].
• Reteplase: Developed after several deletions of the domain of tPA.It has a fourfold longer half-life (18min vs. 4min for tPA) [80]. Dosage: continuous, 0.25–0.5U/h (20units maximum); bolus, 2–5U bolus, then continuous infusion [79].
4.4.1.2 Contraindications
Absolute contraindications for the use of thrombolytics are a history of drug allergy and intracranial bleeding; active bleed­ing, hemorrhagic disorder, surgery within the past 10days, serious GI bleeding within 3months, aortic dissection, and hypertension with diastolic blood pressure>110mmHg are some of the relative contraindications [74].
4.4.1.3 Adverse Eects
Adverse effects include bleeding complications at the cath­eterization site, and gastrointestinal and cerebral hemor­rhages [81, 82]. Re-thrombosis can occur following thrombolysis, and therefore, anticoagulants such as heparin are usually co- administered and continued after thrombo­lytic therapy [83].
4.4.2 Anticoagulants
These include unfractionated heparin (UFH), low- molecular­weight heparin (LMWH), and warfarin.
4.4.2.1 Unfractionated Heparin (UFH)
Heparin belongs to a heterogeneous group of linear polysac­charides of the glycosaminoglycan family. It is one of the most commonly used and earliest anticoagulants [84].
Mechanism
It activates plasma serine protease inhibitor antithrombin (AT) which inactivates thrombin (factor IIa) and factor Xa [85, 86]. Apart from the anticoagulation effect, heparin also has an antithrombotic effect through inhibition of the tissue factor VIIa complex by inducing tissue factor pathway inhib­itor secretion from vascular endothelial cells; this eventually impedes thrombus formation.
The half-life of UFH is 60–90min. For high-risk proce­dures, UFH should be stopped 4–6h prior. Intravenous UFH has an immediate antithrombotic effect, while the time to act for subcutaneous injection is 60min.
Since UFH’s half-life and effects show variability, it is recommended to monitor activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) for monitoring therapy and adjusting the dose [72, 87].
Indications
Heparin is used in treating acute peripheral arterial thrombo­embolism and ACS treatment. In the case of pulmonary embolism and venous thrombosis, it is indicated for both prophylaxis and treatment [85, 88, 89].
4.4.2.2 Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin (LMWH)
LMWH are fractions of heparin and obtained by various methods and thereby heterogeneous in composition.
4 Contrast andDrugs inInterventional Radiology
27
Enoxaparin and dalteparin are commonly used LMWHs. Bemiparin is a second-generation LMWH with the lowest molecular weight and longest half-life [90].
Mechanism
Most of the LMWH acts mainly by inhibiting factor Xa through antithrombin due to their smaller size and not through AT-mediated thrombin inactivation. The half-life of LMWHs is 4–6h [73, 87].
Indications
LMWHs are mainly used for venous thrombosis prophy­laxis. Bemiparin is used for VTE prophylaxis and clot pre­vention during hemodialysis [91].
Special Considerations
Therapeutic doses of LMWH should be stopped 24h before high-risk procedures. Only one dose of prophylactic Enoxaparin needs to be held before a high-risk procedure [73, 87].
4.4.2.3 Warfarin
Mechanism
An oral anticoagulant, it inhibits vitamin K-dependent coag­ulation factors (i.e., factor II, VII, IX, and X) and proteins C and S synthesis in the liver by inhibiting vitamin K reductase and epoxide reductase enzymes which are involved in the pathway of formation of these factors [92].
4.4.3.1 Aspirin
Mechanism
It reduces the production of thromboxane A2 by irreversibly inhibiting cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) which results in reduced platelet aggregation. Due to its irreversible inhibi­tion of COX-2, it acts for 7–10days (duration of lifespan of platelets) [99].
Route andDose
For the antiplatelet effect, recommended doses of Aspirin are 80 mg and 325 mg. At higher doses, it also has an anti­inammatory effect as it inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) [99, 100].
Recommendations
It is recommended to stop Aspirin for 3–5days before proce­dures with a high risk of bleeding [72, 101]. Aspirin can be resumed 24h after the procedure [102]. For low-risk proce­dures, Aspirin should not be stopped [103].
4.4.3.2 Clopidogrel
Mechanism
It belongs to the thienopyridines class of drugs which cause irreversible inhibition of the P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor that is present on the platelet surface and thereby interrupting platelet aggregation and brinogen binding [104, 105].
Indications
It is used for the treatment of venous thromboembolism and for reducing the risk of death, thromboembolic events, or recurrent myocardial infarction in patients with myocardial infarction. In patients with atrial brillation, with mechani­cal heart valve, warfarin is used for prophylaxis [93].
Special Considerations
After 4–5 days of starting therapy, its full anticoagulation effect (INR C 2.0) is achieved, while stopping therapy for 4–5 days ensures an INR of 1.2 in patients with a steady­state INR between 2.0 and 3.0 [94, 95].
For patients undergoing high-risk procedures, warfarin is to be withheld 5 days before the procedure, which would result in an INR of 1.5; whereas for patients undergoing low­risk procedures, a shorter period (2–3days) is adequate for an INR between 1.5 and 2 [96, 97].
Administration of oral 1mg vitamin K to normalize raised INR on the day before surgery can be done [98].
4.4.3 Antiplatelet Drugs
These include aspirin, clopidogrel, and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors.
Route andDose
It is activated after being metabolized in the liver; its plasma level peaks 1–2h after administration with a half-life of 6h [104]. With the standard dose, i.e. 75mg/day, the maximum effect is achieved 4–7days after the onset of therapy and in 4–6h of administration of a loading dose (300–600 mg) of clopidogrel [106].
Ticlopidine (standard dose: 250mg twice daily) acts sim­ilarly [104]. Prasugrel is a newer thienopyridine antiplatelet drug with similar properties; however, its active metabolite peaks in the plasma approximately 30min after administra­tion, and maximal effect is achieved in approximately 1h with a loading dose of 20–60mg [107].
Since all these drugs have an irreversible effect on plate­lets, the duration of action is 7–10days [102].
Recommendations
Thienopyridines should be stopped 0–5days before a low­risk procedure [71, 87, 108]. Ticlopidine should be stopped 7days prior to high-risk procedures while clopidogrel and prasugrel should be withheld 5–7days before high-risk pro­cedures. In order to assess adequate platelet function before the procedure, platelet function tests may be done [71, 73,
87, 109].
28
S. Goswami et al.
Clopidogrel (regular dose) can be resumed in 6–12h, but the loading dose of clopidogrel can be restarted after 24h. In high-risk procedures, prasugrel can be restarted 24–48 h later [72, 87, 109].
4.4.3.3 Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors (GPI)
Mechanism
Gp IIb-IIIa is integrin receptors on the platelets to which brinogen binds; GPIs (abciximab, eptibatide, and tiro­ban) block this nal step in platelet aggregation [110].
Eptibatide and tiroban have a short half-life and act for 4–8h, but abciximab irreversibly binds to GP IIb-IIIa recep­tors and thus platelets regain function in 24–48h. These are given intravenously.
Recommendations
For IR procedures, abciximab infusion should be stopped 24h prior and for at least 12h. Eptibatide/tiroban infusion should be stopped for at least 4h before an IR procedure.
As GPIs are associated with a higher risk of thrombocyto­penia, a platelet count should also be done. Patients undergo­ing PCI are administered with or without heparin.
4.4.4 Vasodilators
They are used in IR to enhance the opacication of distal vessels by relieving arterial spasms. Two commonly used drugs for this purpose are nitroglycerine and verapamil. Blood pressure monitoring should be done with the use of vasodilators [111115].
4.4.4.1 Nitroglycerine
It is a rapidly acting vasodilator with an effect lasting for several minutes depending on the dose.
Mechanism
It acts by releasing nitric oxide (NO) which activates intracel­lular cyclic GMP and leads to the relaxation of smooth mus­cle. It has a half-life of 1–4min and is excreted with urine.
Route andDose
They are administered as an intravascular bolus, between 50 and 300μg of 10μg/mL NG solution. At lower doses, it acts upon systemic veins, and for arterial vasodilation, higher dosage is required. At very high doses, arterioles or resis­tance vessels also dilate.
Indications
Periprocedural, it can be administered intravenously (IV) or sublingually for the control of hypertension. It can also be administered prophylactically to prevent arterial spasms.
4.4.4.2 Verapamil
It is a calcium channel blocker that acts by primarily dilating the small resistance arterioles.
Mechanism
It binds and blocks calcium channels on vascular smooth muscle cells which causes a reduction of intracellular cal­cium leading to smooth muscle relaxation and therefore vasodilation [116].
Route andDose
It is administered as an intra-arterial bolus of 1–10mg in a dilution of 10mL saline. It begins to act within 30s and the effect lasts for approximately 6min [117].
Indications
They are preferred in mesenteric angiography and cerebral arterial spasm.
Contraindications
It is contraindicated in patients with cardiac conduction dis­orders. They should not be used in elevated intracranial pres­sure, constrictive pericarditis, or pericardial tamponade. Trendelenburg position should be done to improve cerebral perfusion [111, 113].
Complications
A few adverse reactions such as systemic hypotension, head­ache, tachycardia, and nausea/vomiting are common to all vasodilators.
4.4.5 Vasoconstrictors
One of the most commonly used vasoconstrictors is vaso­pressin. It is primarily used for acute gastroenterological
bleeding. It is an exogenous form of ADH (antidiuretic hor­mone) secreted from the posterior pituitary.
4.4.5.1 Mechanism
Vasopressin induces vascular smooth muscle contraction in small arterioles, capillaries, and small venules through cAMP mechanisms. Its half-life in plasma is 10–20 min [111113].
4.4.5.2 Route andDose
It is administered via the intra-arterial route. In cases of GI bleeding where embolization is either not feasible or not indicated, e.g., mucosal bleeding, vasopressin infu­sion is done with a catheter directly placed in the main trunk. The initial dose is usually 0.2U/min, with repeat doses administered if bleeding persists on repeat arterio­grams. Doses above 0.4U/min are not recommended and
4 Contrast andDrugs inInterventional Radiology
29
alternate therapy is to be considered if bleeding cannot be controlled. Once bleeding is controlled, the infusion is continued for 12–24 h while tapering the dose by half every 6–12h if there is no further bleeding. When the con­tinuous infusion rate reaches 0.1 U/min for 6–12 h, the infusion is switched to normal saline; the catheter can be removed after 4–6h of no bleeding with normal saline infusion [113, 114].
4.4.5.3 Indication
Vasopressin infusion is especially useful in lower GI bleeds, up to 90% effective in the control of lower GI bleeding due to various causes [118].
4.4.5.4 Complications andAdverse Eects
There is a considerable risk of rebleeding with the use of vasopressin and it occurs in approximately 20% of cases [119]. Common side effects are headache, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and diaphoresis. In the presence of atherosclerotic changes, vasopressin is less efcient due to the impaired response of arterioles.
Adverse cardiovascular effects such as hypertension, arrhythmias, and myocardial infarction occur in <5% of cases. Ischemic effects on mesenteric vasculature may cause bowel infarction in <1% of cases. Electrolyte imbalance, oliguria, and hypertension can occur as delayed complica­tions secondary to antidiuretic effects. Additional care should be taken in patients with cardiac, renal, or hepatic failure [120].
4.4.6 Prothrombotics
These include drugs for accelerating the natural clotting pro­cess. Thrombin is the most commonly used prothrombotic which is a naturally occurring protein-serine protease syn­thesized by hepatocytes and an important component of the clotting cascade. Bovine and recombinant human forms of thrombin are available. Bovine thrombin is cheaper however with a higher risk of allergic reactions. A lower dose of human recombinant form is required to accomplish throm­bosis [111113].
4.4.6.1 Mechanism
It acts by converting soluble brinogen into insoluble brin and therefore forming clots within seconds. Clot for­mation is directly related to the concentration of thrombin.
4.4.6.2 Route andDose
It is available in powder form and needs to be reconstituted with sterile normal saline immediately prior to injection.
Various concentrations and dosages have been recommended which are based on the size and location of the injection site. Standard practice is to use a thrombin concentration of 1000 IU/mL while the dosage for complete thrombosis is between 0.3 and 3 mL (300–3000 IU). It is administered under image guidance (ultrasound or CT) using a 19- to a 25-gauge needle in the center of the target; injected at a slow and constant rate until the hypoechoic PSA turns to hyper­echoic clot and the cessation of intraluminal blood ow occurs on color doppler. If the complete occlusion is not achieved or in case of recanalization, additional injections should be administered [117].
4.4.6.3 Indications
The most common use of intravascular thrombin is for PSA repair in peripheral vessels, with the aim to cause thrombosis to prevent future rupture and decrease the risk of distal embolization [121]. It is also used in the treat­ment of post- catheterization PSAs and found to be supe­rior compared with compression in the treatment of femoral PSAs [122]. Owing to its success in treating peripheral vessels PSAs [122], it has been used to treat visceral post-pancreatitis PSAs occurring in the splenic, gastroduodenal, and superior mesenteric arteries by sev­eral authors [123125].
4.4.6.4 Complications andContraindications
It has a low (<4%) complication risk [126], however with serious consequences, and therefore, a careful patient selection must be done. The highest reported serious com­plication is downstream thromboembolic events (0.8%) [127]. A large aneurysmal neck size (>10mm) is associ­ated with an increased risk of a distal thromboembolic event. Local site infection is a contraindication to throm­bin injection.
4.4.6.5 Special Considerations
An assessment of distal pulses and ankle-brachial indices recording should be done preprocedural with postprocedural follow-up recording immediately after and at 24h [117].

4.5 Conclusion

Various contrast agents and pharmaceutical agents are used during IR procedures, and it is of paramount importance for the radiologist to be aware of their properties, indications, contraindications, and various drug interactions and adverse effects in order to prevent and manage them efciently. Selection of the appropriate contrast agent selection should be done based on the patient prole, baseline renal function, and other risk factors for the prevention of contrast-induced

renal injury and other side effects. Interventional radiologists should be aware of the latest guidelines for various peripro­cedural and procedural continuation or discontinuation of anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs. Familiarity with these agents, their indications, and contraindications will ensure a favorable outcome.
