It is generally agreed that low osmolar contrast media are better tolerated than conventional media. This study examined both tolerance and image quality of ioxaglate in a group of paediatric patients undergoing angiocardiography for congenital heart disease. A consecutive series of 50 patients (mean age 5.47 years; range 4 days-14 years) were examined. The mean dose of ioxaglate administered per patient was 2.93 mL/kg. In general, ioxaglate was well tolerated. Three patients became febrile and another developed eosinophilia. Serum creatinine rose by a mean of 10 mumol/L. Significant renal dysfunction occurred in 12 patients with an increase in creatinine of 20-30 mumol/L. In no patient, however, were these effects a significant clinical problem. Diagnostic image quality was generally considered to be good with both cine-angiography and digital subtraction angiographic techniques.
