Comparison of Iomeprol-400, Ultravist-370, and Omnipaque-350 in Preoperative Computed Tomography for Visualizing the Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforators
Iomeprol-400 significantly improves visualization of critical small-diameter vessels in preoperative CTA for DIEP flap surgery compared with Ultravist-370 and Omnipaque-350. These findings support incorporating higher iodine concentration agents such as Iomeprol-400 into preoperative imaging protocols for DIEP flap surgery.
