The aim of this paper is to clarify some physical–mechanical aspects involved in the carbon dioxide angiography procedure (CO2 angiography), with a particular attention to a possible damage of the vascular wall.

INTRODUCTION:
The administration of iodinated contrast media in doses sufficient for diagnosis and procedural guidance, when coincident with renal insufficiency, presents a considerable risk of exacerbating and hastening renal failure. Carbon dioxide has been proposed in the past as an alternative, but only recently dedicated injection systems have become available. We aimed to review our ongoing experience with an automated carbon dioxide injector for peripheral diagnostic and interventional procedures.

ABSTRACT: In 1971 during a routine celiac axis injection, 70 cc of room air was inadvertently injected into a patient instead of iodinated contrast.

Abstract: Introduction. Carbon dioxide (CO2) has been validated as a contrast agent in a large series of studies. A particular advantage of CO2 over iodinated contrast medium (ICM) is the absence of nephrotoxicity and allergic reactions.

The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of carbon dioxide compared to iodinated contrast material for determining inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter prior to filter placement, and to assess the safety of CO2 when used for this purpose.
