Patient Discomfort during Carotid Artery Stenting: A Comparison Study between Iodixanol versus Iopamidol

During CAS, less overall discomfort was reported in patients receiving iodixanol than iopamidol; in terms of warmth sensation, patients undergoing procedure using iopamidol as CM have a higher risk to perceive this clinical symptom than iodixanol. Slightly bitter taste seems to have a statistically significant relation with age and gender, and not with CM used.
