• A device that enables the automatic release of carbon dioxide — an effective and reliable contrast agent — into the circulation with real-time pressure and volume control.
• Carbon dioxide angiography is an angiographic method performed by injecting a small amount of carbon dioxide into the circulatory system.
• Carbon dioxide, an inert gas that dissolves faster in blood than oxygen, is easily eliminated from the body through respiration.
• The viscosity of carbon dioxide is 400 times lower than that of other contrast agents. Therefore, it allows visualization of microvessels that cannot be reached by conventional contrast media.
• Due to its molecular structure, carbon dioxide can easily pass through lesions in total occlusions, allowing visualization of distal vascular regions as well.
