Optical coherence tomography (OCT) requires a radiographic contrast agent to replace the blood during intravascular imaging. Increased use of contrast volume during OCT imaging may further worsen the renal functions in patients who are at high risk for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Low molecul
