Ultra-Low Contrast Percutaneous Coronary Angiography and Intervention: How To Do It.

Excessive contrast volume continues to be one of the major modifiable risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy in coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. Consequently, strategies aimed at minimising contrast exposure are increasingly relevant in contemporary interventional practice. This article describes a practical, step-by-step approach to contrast minimisation by outlining reproducible techniques to assist interventional cardiologists in safely reducing contrast volume without compromising procedural efficacy or clinical outcomes.
