12/01/2008 - "Safety of gadoversetamide in patients with acute and chronic myocardial infarction."
11/01/2006 - "Eighteen patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were randomly divided into three groups according to the dose of gadoversetamide (0.1, 0.2, or 0.3 mmol/kg) administered. "
12/01/2008 - "To assess the safety data from two large, multicenter, phase 2 trials on the use of gadoversetamide (OptiMARK, Tyco Healthcare/Mallinckrodt, St. Louis, MO) as a contrast agent in delayed hyperenhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) in patients with acute and chronic myocardial infarction (MI). "

02/05/2008 - "Likewise, the accuracy of MRI for identifying MI location (compared with infarct-related artery perfusion territory) increased with rising dose of gadoversetamide (P<0.0001), reaching 99% (acute) and 91% (chronic) after contrast compared with 9% before contrast. "
02/05/2008 - "For gadoversetamide doses > or = 0.2 mmol/kg, 10- and 30-minute images provided equal performance, and peak creatine kinase-MB levels correlated with MRI infarct size (P<0.0001). "
03/01/2003 - "Accumulation of gadoversetamide in the infarct area was apparent after 5 minutes, and the peak contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) between infarct and myocardium was comparable to the peak CNR of manganese-based contrast agents. "
01/01/2007 - "As part of a Phase 2 multi-center dose ranging study for infarct identification patients received 1 of 4 possible dosages (0.05, 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3 mmol/kg body weight) of the contrast agent gadoversetamide (OptiMARK, Tyco Healthcare Mallinckrodt, St. Louis, MO, USA). "

01/01/2018 - "DCE-MRI data were acquired using multisection, T1-weighted, 3D vibe sequences with fat suppression before, during, and after IV bolus injection (0.1 mmol/kg body weight, Gadoversetamide, Optimark). "
07/01/2010 - "The principal gadolinium(III) complex in a rat kidney tissue extract was identified as Gd-DTPA-BMEA 24 Hrs and 7 days after a single intravenous injection of Optimark™ (gadoversetamide; Gd-DTPA-BMEA) at a dose of 5 mmol Gd/kg body weight. "
01/01/2007 - "As part of a Phase 2 multi-center dose ranging study for infarct identification patients received 1 of 4 possible dosages (0.05, 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3 mmol/kg body weight) of the contrast agent gadoversetamide (OptiMARK, Tyco Healthcare Mallinckrodt, St. Louis, MO, USA). "

11/01/2022 - "In this study, the genotoxicity of two GBCAs, gadobutrol and gadoversetamide, was investigated by using different endpoints: chromosome aberration (CAs), sister chromatid exchange (SCEs), and micronucleus (MNi). "

01/01/2009 - "Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis associated with gadoversetamide exposure: treatment with sodium thiosulfate."
01/01/2019 - "To determine the relative risk of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) between gadodiamide (Omniscan®) and gadoversetamide (OptiMARK®) and to explore the potential contribution of the amount of excess ligand added to their commercial formulations. "
12/01/2009 - "In patients with impaired renal function and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), the agents gadodiamide, gadoversetamide, and gadopentetate dimeglumine have been shown to result in Gd deposition in the skin and internal organs. "
08/01/2014 - "Breastfeeding is safe for the nursing infant of any post-conceptional age after administration of the majority of radiological contrast media to the mother; only gadolinium-based agents considered at high risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (gadopentetate dimeglumine, gadodiamide, gadoversetamide) should be avoided in the breastfeeding woman as a precaution; there is no need to temporarily discontinue breastfeeding or to express and discard breast milk following the administration of contrast media assessed as compatible with breastfeeding. "
10/01/2012 - "Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) has been reported in humans to be most likely induced by gadolinium based contrast agents (GBCA), namely by gadodiamide, gadopentetate dimeglumine, and gadoversetamide, rarely by other GBCA. "
