The management of patients with severe coronary artery disease and severely impaired renal function may be challenging. In this report, we describe the case of a 75-year-old patient who underwent complex percutaneous coronary intervention with an ultra-low dose contrast medium protocol. Notably, the patient was scheduled for the procedure after careful monitoring of fluid expansion as assessed by echocardiography. No contrast-induced nephropathy developed and the patient was discharged safely.

Abstract
The management of patients with severe coronary artery disease and severely impaired renal function may be challenging. In this report, we describe the case of a 75-year-old patient who underwent complex percutaneous coronary intervention with an ultra-low dose contrast medium protocol. Notably, the patient was scheduled for the procedure after careful monitoring of fluid expansion as assessed by echocardiography. No contrast-induced nephropathy developed and the patient was discharged safely.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
