Iodixanol vs. Iomeprol to Prevent Contrast-Induced Nephropathy After Coronary Intervention (CONTRAST)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Iodixanol 320 is associated with a lower incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) when compared with hyperosmolar contrast medium Iomeprol 350 in patients with impaired renal function undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).
