Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, Medical College of Wisconsin Affiliated Hospitals, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Milwaukee, WI The number of percutaneous diagnostic and interventional procedures performed continues to increase. Despite the use of various methods to reduce the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy, the development of renal failure remains a significant problem with iodinatedbased contrast agents. Patients with a baseline renal insufficiency are at considerably higher risk of permanent renal deterioration following exposure to iodinated contrast. The authors report a successful case of percutaneous stenting of the renal artery using a gadolinium-based contrast agent in a high-risk patient with renal insufficiency.
