Authors' conclusion

CM volume reduction obtained using the CM diversion system is effective for prevention of AKI in patients with ACS undergoing invasive procedures.

Study context

Population
Patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) undergoing invasive coronary procedures, 4 Italian centres, 2020–20227 without postprocedural serum creatinine (sCr)
Participants
550 patients
Comparison
