One-molar gadolinium chelate (gadobutrol) as a contrast agent for CT angiography of the thoracic and abdominal aorta.

Abstract:

:The aim of our study was to evaluate the use of a 1-molar gadolinium chelate (gadobutrol) as an alternative contrast medium for computed tomography angiography (CTA) exams of the aorta. CTA exams of the thoracic and/or abdominal aorta were performed on 15 patients with contraindications for the use of iodine who were not suitable for magnetic resonance examinations. The exams were performed with a 16-detector row scanner, injecting a mean dose of 0.37 mmol Gd/kg of body weight at a flow rate of 4 ml/s. Creatinine levels were obtained prior to the exam in patients with impaired renal function, and 24 and 48 h afterwards. The mean attenuation values obtained in the middle ascending and middle descending thoracic aorta were 202.3 and 216.8, respectively. The mean HU values of the abdominal aorta were 210.4 at the level of the renal arteries and 186.8 in the aortic bifurcation. All the exams were considered diagnostically adequate. No significant increase in serum creatinine was observed 24 and 48 h after the exam. We believe that gadobutrol could be an alternative contrast medium for CTA exams with 16-detector row scanners in patients with contraindications for iodinated contrast medium.
