Few studies have assessed the predictive value of the ratio of the contrast media volume or grams of iodine to the creatinine clearance (V/CrCl or g-I/CrCl, respectively) for the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The association...
