To provide endovascular interventions on venous and arterial systems in modern hospitals carbon dioxide is safely used. The main advantage of carbon dioxide is its ability to safely use in patients with high risk of contrast induced nephropathy. Here is the first clinical experience of carbon dioxide successful application in the Republican Clinical Hospital. Results of CO₂-angiography performed using a system of CO₂ Angioset by OptiMED in patients with allergy to iodinated contrast agents, in patients on hemodialysis with residual renal function and in patients with chronic renal failure were demonstrated.

Key words: carbon dioxide, digital subtraction angiography, contrast-induced nephropathy.
