Interventions

IV isotonic salinedrug

The investigators will administer 3 ml/kg of isotonic saline over 1 hour at an infusion rate of not less than 1 mL/kg per hour and not more than 3 mL/kg per hour prior to the angiographic procedure, 1-1.5ml/kg per hour during angiography, and 6 ml/kg of isotonic saline over 4 hours following the procedure at an infusion rate of not less than 1 mL/kg per hour and not more than 1.5 mL/kg per hour. Providers will retain discretion to administer larger volumes of isotonic saline (up to a maximum of 12 mL/kg) over durations of up to 12 hours pre and 12 hours post-procedure.

IV isotonic bicarbonatedrug

The investigators will administer 3 ml/kg of isotonic bicarbonate over 1 hour at an infusion rate of not less than 1 mL/kg per hour and not more than 3 mL/kg per hour prior to the angiographic procedure, 1-1.5ml/kg per hour during angiography, and 6 ml/kg of isotonic bicarbonate over 4 hours following the procedure at an infusion rate of not less than 1 mL/kg per hour and not more than 1.5 mL/kg per hour. Providers will retain discretion to administer larger volumes of isotonic bicarbonate (up to a maximum of 12 mL/kg) over durations of up to 12 hours pre and 12 hours post-procedure.

N-acetylcysteinedrug

NAC will be administered at a dose of 1200mg orally 1 hour prior to angiography, 1 hour following the procedure, and then twice daily for the next 4 days.

Placebodrug

A placebo study drug capsule will be administered orally 1 hour prior to angiography, 1 hour following the procedure, and then twice daily for the next 4 days.
