The invention discloses a contrast agent for enhancing an ELCA
volume reduction effect, belongs to the field of medical reagents, and particularly relates to a contrast agent, which comprises a
heparin-based compound and a contrast agent, the
heparin-based compound comprises
heparin, and the content of the heparin-based compound in the contrast agent is 2-64 [mu] g / mL. The contrast agent comprises at least one of
iopromide and
iodixanol. The heparin-based compound further comprises a
heparin derivative, the
heparin derivative is prepared by oxidizing heparin and then reacting with a derivating agent, and the derivating agent comprises L-alanyl-L-
proline methyl
ester hydrochloride. The contrast agent provided by the invention can be combined with ELCA for use, enhances the
volume reduction effect of ELCA, has a good
ablation effect on vascular plaques, and has high
shock wave pressure when acting with
excimer laser.
