CT TAVR Abdomen Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A standard polyenergetic CT (computed tomography) procedure utilizes 100 ml of iodinated contrast. A recent world-wide shortage of iodine based intravenous contrast has highlighted the need to search for alternative methods or doses. Reducing iodinated IV contrast dose can mitigate IV contrast supply shortages and enable significant cost savings for the radiology practice and hospital system. In addition, decreased IV contrast dose can potentially reduce the rate of acute kidney injury, specifically in patients with decreased renal function. The purpose of the study is to determine whether low IV contrast dose CT with monoenergetic reconstruction can be use for presurgical planning of transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR) procedure.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Cohort 1 A cohort will be given a 1/3rd reduced dose of iodinated contrast agent (33 ml). |
Combination Product: Iodinated Contrast Agent (Omnipaque)
Standard dosage of Omnipaque for CT imaging is 100 ml. Cohort will be given a reduced dosage.
Device: Dual Energy CT
Dual energy CT scanners enable monoenergetic CT image reconstruction which allows for improved iodine image contrast.
|
Experimental: Cohort 2 If imaging with 1/3 dose is satisfactory, a second cohort with 1/4th the standard dosage (25 ml) will be assessed. If images are not satisfactory, contrast dose will be increased to 50 ml. |
Combination Product: Iodinated Contrast Agent (Omnipaque)
Standard dosage of Omnipaque for CT imaging is 100 ml. Cohort will be given a reduced dosage.
Device: Dual Energy CT
Dual energy CT scanners enable monoenergetic CT image reconstruction which allows for improved iodine image contrast.
