1. What is contrast extravasation and how often does it occur?
Contrast extravasation occurs when contrast is injected into a vein but goes outside of the vein into the adjacent soft tissues. In most cases this is a mild inconvenience to the patient especially when only a few cc are involved. With larger extravasations (75-100 cc) problems can occur.
