Absolute zero-contrast percutaneous coronary intervention under intravascular ultrasound guidance in chronic kidney disease patients - From despair to hope?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Zero contrast percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) reduces contrast induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), and it improves the outcome of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing PCI.

Objectives

We sought to assess the safety and short-term outcomes of 'absolute' zero-contrast PCI under intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance in CKD patients.

Methods

Data from all consecutive CKD patients who were included for absolute zero contrast PCI during the period of June 2020 to March 2021 were included in this analysis. Clinical characteristics, angiographic, IVUS and procedural data, and follow-up data were analyzed.

Results

Totally 42 patients (66 vessels) with the mean age of 69.04 ± 11.9 years, were included for absolute zero-contrast PCI. Th
