Using the DyeVert Plus system to reduce contrast-related kidney injury during coronary angiography and PCI

Single-Center Prospective Study to Investigate the Difference in the Incidence of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in High-Risk Patients With the Use of the Dye-Vert Plus System

PHASE4 · CAMC Health System · NCT04279457

This study will test whether adding the DyeVert Plus device to standard hydration lowers the chance of contrast-induced kidney injury in adults with reduced kidney function having coronary angiography or PCI.

What this trial studies

This single-center prospective Phase 4 interventional study enrolls adults with reduced kidney function (eGFR 20–60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and serum creatinine >1.5 mg/dL) who are scheduled for coronary angiography or PCI. All participants will receive a standardized hydration protocol and the DyeVert Plus system will be used during the procedure to minimize contrast volume. Investigators will monitor serum creatinine and eGFR after the procedure to determine the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy. The trial aims to compare post-procedure acute kidney injury rates in this high-risk population when contrast volume is actively reduced.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults aged 18–90 scheduled for coronary angiography or PCI with baseline eGFR 20–60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and serum creatinine >1.5 mg/dL, often with hypertension or diabetes, are eligible.

Not a fit: Patients with normal kidney function (eGFR >60 or creatinine <1.5 mg/dL), those on dialysis, pregnant people, or those with a dye allergy are unlikely to receive benefit from this approach.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, using the DyeVert Plus system with hydration could reduce the rate of contrast-induced kidney injury, lowering complications and shortening hospital stays for high-risk patients.

How similar studies have performed: Previous device studies have shown that contrast-reduction systems like DyeVert can reduce contrast volume and have sometimes lowered CIN rates, but results have been variable across studies.
