Key Points This article demonstrates that carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) based angiography can be performed in patients at risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) with a resulting rate of AKI of ∼5%. The study also demonstrates a high rate of complications from CO 2 angiography—ranging from pain to death. Future research will need to focus on clarifying the role of CO 2 angiography given the safety profile noted in the literature.
