There is no specific treatment for N-PCI, so its prevention is essential. Although many studies have been conducted to identify, compare and implement different pharmacological strategies for the prevention of CIN before percutaneous coronary procedurse, few per-procedural strategies have been studied to prevent this risk. Intracoronary ultrasound (IVUS) is an essential tool, used routinely to guide percutaneous coronary procedures thanks to ultrasound, it does not require the injection of iodine contrast. The main
