Abstract
In patients with renal insufficiency or hypersensitivity to iodinated contrast material, carbon dioxide gas (CO2) is generally considered a safe alternative contrast media for digital subtraction angiography, H owever, we herein report a previously undescribed fatal complication o f CO2 angiography in a patient with acute renal dysfunction and conges tive heart failure, The possible pathogenetic mechanisms of this compl ication are discussed.
