[Comparison between iopamidol and ioxaglate in digital arteriography of the lower limbs]. / Comparison du iopamidol et du ioxaglate en artériographie numérisée des membres inférieurs.

This prospective study concerning 100 subtraction angiographies of the lower limbs compared two iodine concentrations of iopamidol (300 and 370 mg l/l) and ioxaglate (320 and 350 mg l/l). More pain and movements disturbed the subtraction with iopamidol 370 in comparison with ionic contrast media (p < 0.005). The quality of the contrast was better with ioxaglate 350 (p = 0.05) than with the others. This one appears to be a good compromise for this type of examination.
