abstract = {This systematic review aims to analyse the different safety
aspects and evidence of CO2 as a contrast agent in vascular
applications as an alternative to iodine-based contrast
media (ICM). The review addresses clinical applications,
contraindications, safety measures, and the impact of CO2 on
the risk reduction of contrast-associated acute kidney
injury (CA-AKI).A systematic literature search was conducted
across PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library,
focusing on relevant literature centred around clinical
questions by the Contrast Media Safety Committee of the
European Society of Urogenital Radiology.Eleven studies
encompassing meta-analyses, randomised controlled trials,
and comparative studies were included. The review found that
CO2 angiography is a safe alternative to ICM in various
vascular applications, especially in patients at risk for
CA-AKI. CO2 is associated with a higher incidence of minor,
non-serious adverse events compared to ICM. No critical dose
for CO2 is established, but safe administration protocols
and measures were outlined. CO2 demonstrated a lower
incidence of CA-AKI in peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
procedures, but evidence in endovascular aneurysm repair
(EVAR) was less conclusive.CO2 is a safe alternative to ICM
in vascular procedures, potentially reducing the risk of
CA-AKI, especially in PAD procedures. However, more
large-scale RCTs are needed to confirm these findings and
further investigate other risk factors contributing to
CA-AKI in both EVAR and PAD procedures.Question What safety
aspects and evidence support CO2 use as a contrast agent in
vascular applications instead of ICM? Findings CO2
angiography is safe when considering specific safety
measures and clinical applications; evidence on the
reduction of ICM volume and CA-AKI is limited. Clinical
relevance CO2 angiography offers an alternative to ICM,
especially in CA-AKI risk patients. More large-scale,
multicentre RCTs are required to strengthen the evidence and
to investigate other risk factors due to a high residual
risk of CA-AKI when using CO2 angiography.},
