Highlights intraprocedural strategies and contrast dose limits to prevent acute kidney injury during cardiovascular procedures, advocating for system-wide care bundles.
Prevention of CI-AKI must remain a clinical priority. Intraprocedural preventive measures should include a priori calculation of the MACD and contrast volume to eGFR ratio to limit contrast volume. Other measures may include the adoption of the transradial approach, the use of automated contrast injectors and small catheters to limit contrast volume, the use of low-osmolar contrast agents, and if necessary the use of staged procedures. We call for the system-wide implementation of evidence-based care bundles to prevent CI-AKI.
