Angiodroid Application - Medical / Health Care - Medical Equipment
When the use Angiodroid The CO2 Injector is safe and effective; As is increasingly demonstrated, the use of CO2 as a Contrast Agent can bring considerable advantages in many types of intervention in the field of Interventional Cardiology, Interventional Radiology, Interventional Angiology and Vascular Surgery. Because of its Gas Properties, Carbon Dioxide infact can be injected into each lumen structure (arterial, venous, biliary tract, abscesses, fistulas) below the diaphragm. It is especially indicated for patient with renal failer, diabetes, intolerance to iodinated constrad media, creatinine higher than 1.8 mg/dl.
Therapeutic indications to the use of CO2 in angio...
Therapeutic indications to the use of CO2 in angiographyThe Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR, measured in mL/min/1.73m2) is an indicator of kidney function, and is the most important clinical parameter in evaluating the use CO2 as contrast media in angiography. In addition, other risk factors must be taken into consideration. Albuminuria is an important factor, as it influences the therapeutic indications.
Angiodroid Advantages
EVAR – Endo-Vascular Aneurism Repair
During EVAR, operators have to take many images of abdominal aorta district and for this reason a lot of iodinated contrast medium is used. Patients undergoing this kind of procedures are often elderly with compromised renal function. With the use of Angiodroid The CO2 Injector instead of standard ICM, it is possible to reduce the contrast induced nefropathy risk saving and the total amount of iodine can be few milliliters.
Interventions in the peripheral arteries and in in upper and lower limbs
Thanks to the precise CO2 injections, Angiodroid The CO2 Injector let the operator to see all the peripheral districts with an accurate visualization of arteries and veins. As CO2 is less viscous than iodine, with Angiodroid The CO2 Injector it is possible to see even better than with the standard iodinated contrast media.
TIPS – Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt
During TIPS, the use of Angiodroid The CO2 Injector for the localization of the portal vein can facilitate this procedure. The lowest viscosity of the gas than the iodinate contrast media permits to visualize more clearly the portal vein and to save the renal function of the patient, reducing the CIN risk.
Detection of Endoleaks following EVAR
Thanks to the unique features of Angiodroid The CO2 Injector and the low viscosity of CO2, 400 times less viscous than iodinated contrast media, the endoleaks detecton is easy and safe, even more efficient compared to the standard technique.
Acute intestinal hemorrhage detection
When operators has to detect an acute intestinal hemorrhage, Angiodroid The CO2 Injector is capable to help the intervention as the CO2 delivered with this automated system expand in the intestine creating caracteristic bubbles that reveal the bleeding. This particular way of behaviour make the use of Angiodroid suitable for the bleeding detection.
