Summary
In the treatment of coronary heart disease which is the major cause of heart attack, direct
mechanical treatment with catheters such as the coronary angiography, coronary balloon
intervention and stenting intervention are the mainstay of therapy in recent years. In that
procedures, the investigators should use the contrast media, and it may cause kidney toxicity
especially in the patients with underlying kidney disease and decreased kidney function. The
investigators intended to find out which contrast agent has less kidney toxicity in the
catheter based treatment of coronary arterial diseases in patients with underlying decreased
kidney function
