This study assessed the risk of acute allergic-like reactions (AARs) after extravascular administration of iodinated contrast media (ICM) in at-risk patients compared with that after intravascular ICM administration. ⋯ For high-risk patients with a history of moderate or severe reactions to ICM, AARs upon extravascular administration of ICM are significantly infrequent compared with intravascular ICM administration.
