Abstract
THIS STUDY compares the effects of meglumine iothalamate 60 per cent (60 per cent Conray, Mallinckrodt) and 50 per cent sodium diatrizoate (50 per cent Hypaque, Winthrop) on arterial blood pressure during and after angiography. In a previous report, we noted briefly the observation of a difference in blood pressure changes following the intra-arterial administrations of meglumine iothalamate 60 per cent as compared to 50 per cent sodium diatrizoate in a limited number of cases (2). This investigation was carried out to study these differences more thoroughly. Material and Methods A total of 50 intra-arterial blood pressure measurements were made in 24 patients examined for cerebrovascular disease. The group was comprised of 19 males and 5 females, with an age range of forty to sixty-five years. Percutaneous retrograde brachial angiography was carried out in every case. Two 16-gauge Cournand needles were placed in the same brachial artery; the lower for the injection of contrast medium and the upper, 10 to...
