Abstract

Contrast-induced sialadenitis is an adverse reaction following iodine-based investigations, including coronary angioplasty. Unfamiliarity with this adverse reaction may explain its underreporting. We herein describe a case series of 4 patients to help increase awareness of this condition among interventionists. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Keywords: contrast agent; coronary angiography; percutaneous coronary intervention.
