Brief summary

No significant differences is expected in observed motion artifacts, heat or pain reported during peripheral DSA performed for diagnostic and/or endovascular therapeutic purposes.

Interventions

Participants received at least one intraarterial injection in one of the following 3 locations: aortic bifurcation (total volume 15-20 mL), iliac arteries (total volume 10-12 mL), or superficial femoral artery (total volume 8-12 mL to view only thigh, 10-15 mL to view calf as well, 20 mL for full runoff to foot).

The scale was 0 to 10 cm, with the left end (0 cm)of the scale indicating no pain and the right end (10 cm) of the scale indicating the worst pain. Group 1 completed the Pain VAS (heat not separate from pain). Group 2 completed the Pain VAS for pain only and, separately, the Heat VAS for heat only.

Level of Heat in the Lower Extremities Scored by Group 2 as Assessed on the Heat VAS Following Intraarterial Administration of ISOVUE-250 or VISIPAQUE 270 in Peripheral DSA

The 10-centimeter Heat VAS was completed by the Group 2 patients to assess his/her heat level (separately from pain) in the lower extremity of interest. The scale was 0 to 10 cm, with the left end (0 cm)of the scale indicating no heat and the right end (10 cm) of the scale indicating the worst heat. The Heat VAS was completed by the patient before completing the Pain VAS to assess pain.

Time frame: Immediately after administration of agent using a power injector for the administration

Population: Patients who did not deviate from the planned protocol and had the corresponding endpoint evaluations available were included in the analysis. Group 2 patients provided an assessment of heat by the Heat VAS prior to assessing pain by the Pain VAS.
