Cardiogenic shock secondary to metamizole-induced type II Kounis syndrome.
No further incidents have been documented during patient follow-up. In the cases presented, the mechanism underlying the induction of ventricular fibrillation could have been due to the continuous transmission—through the ventricular electrode to the interface with the myocardium—of the electrocautery radiofrequency pulses applied to the surrounding tissue or the pacemaker generator itself, alt...
متن کاملGadolinium-DTPA: A New Contrast Agent
Gadolinium (Gd)-DTPA-dimeglumine (tradename: Magnevist?) is the first commercially available contrast agent for magnetic resonance tomography (MRT). As a result of the very favourable results from preclinical and clinical investigations Magnevist? was granted a product license for cranial and spinal MRT in the Federal Republic of Germany in early February this year. Magnevist? is a paramagnetic...
متن کاملLocalized Aortic Root Dissection Secondary to Contrast Agent Injection: Feasibility of Conservative Follow-up With Echocardiography
Introduction: Iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection (ACD) is a nightmare in interventional cardiology. Although ACD is rarely reported, the real-world prevalence is suspected of being higher due to unreported cases. The right coronary artery (RCA) ostium is involved in the majority of cases, and dissections are usually limited to the aortic sinus in half of the clinical presentat...
متن کاملGadolinium as a contrast agent for NMR.
Gadolinium chloride (GdCl3) was studied as a contrast agent for nuclear magnetic resonance. This rare-earth element dramatically alters proton resonance (paramagnetic moment = 10.8 Bohr magnetons). Acute toxicity was determined by intravenous injections in mice; mean lethal dose was 100-200 mg of GdCl3 . 6 H2O/kg. Changes in T1 of plasma, kidney, liver, and brain of mice and rats were measured ...

slice images of Gd-DTPA, Gd-DOTACAT and 10% BSA at 37oC at 9.4T. Figure 2. Relaxation rate (R1 = 1/T1) as a function of concentration. Gd-DOTACAT has a greater relaxivity 6.9 (mM s) than clinically used Gd-DTPA (Magnevist®) of 3.2 (mM s). Figure 3. Signal intensity plots from 3 regions of interest: brain tissue, cerebral and non-cerebral blood vessels. There was an increase in signal intensity ...
