The ACIST injection system is an automatic power injection device that allows for online control of injection rate and volume of contrast. Limited data is available whether this technology allows reducing use of contrast and fluoroscopy time. Accordingly, we compared the use of this system to manual injection among 450 consecutive patients who underwent diagnostic coronary angiography and/or angioplasty who were randomly assigned to either manual contrast injection (control; n = 198) or to the ACIST system (study group; n = 252). The amount of contrast, fluoroscopy and total procedural times were recorded for each patient. In the diagnostic group, the mean total amount of contrast (including wasted) was reduced by 63% when the ACIST was used compared to control (100±42 ml versus 163±56 ml; P [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
