Can be done without iodine? The short answer is: yes!
As the shows, EVAR is no longer a concept.
In fact, this multicentre study that involved some of our biggest has brought some impressive numbers:
🫧293 patients - 10 centres
🫧82% procedures with CO₂ only
🫧99.7% technical success
🫧>10x lower AKI vs iodine
🫧Minimal iodine use (only 18%)
But that's not all! Can you guess what other value was greatly impacted? Well, keep following us, some great news about safety is just around the corner ☢️...
CO₂ angiography is no longer limited to niche cases; with the right protocol and technology, it enables a standardized, safe, and kidney-friendly EVAR workflow.
At Angiodroid, we believe this is the direction vascular imaging is heading:
👉 Reducing contrast-related risks
👉 Improving patient safety
👉 Enabling more sustainable procedures
The future of EVAR is evolving, and it’s increasingly contrast-free
We'd like to thank Emiliano Chisci, Emanuele Ferrero, Michele Antonello, Luca Mezzetto, Raffaele Pulli, Giacomo Isernia, Mauro Gargiulo, Giovanni Pratesi, Luca Bertoglio, Stefano Michelagnoli and the Zero Iodine Contrast EVAR Collaborative Study Group for making this possible.
