Intravascular Erythrocyte Aggregation after Intravenous Injection of Contrast Media

Abstract
An investigation of the intravascular erythrocyte aggregation by vital microscopy after the injection of adipioden and diatrizoate in 56 human subjects and the effects of the contrast media with and without pretreatment with low molecular dextran in experimental circulation studies in cats is reported. The influence of the media, which was observed in vitro and in vivo, is discussed.
