Peripheral Arterial Interventions with Reduced Contrast Use: The Save Contrast Study

Contrast use can be significantly reduced during peripheral arterial interventions with the implementation of a few simple measures. A statistically nonsignificant decrease in procedural success and an increase in distal embolizations and perforations were noted in the low contrast group. Larger, randomized studies are needed to determine the overall safety of this low contrast approach in peripheral arterial interventions.
