Abstract
This study examines the incidence and outcome of complications requiring, surgical intervention in a major vascular unit serving interventional radiology and interventional cardiology. Between April 2000 and March 2001, 2324 patients underwent angiographic examinations (male/female = 1579:745, mean age = 68 years, range 45–88). In non-stent patients, a 4-or 5-mm French (4-mm F, 5-mm F) guage nonheparinized arterial catheter was used, and in patients requiring stents a 6- or 7-mm French guage catheter was used. Pressure was applied to the puncture site for up to 6 min. Fifteen complications requiring vascular surgical procedure were recorded during in-hospital follow-up (9 males, 6 females). Our early operative (30-day) mortality rate was 0.086%. Although the number of major complications requiring surgical intervention after interventional or diagnostic cardiovascular radiology is diminishing, vigilance in these cases is still required. Where possible, a small catheter with a J-shaped guidewire should be used and prolonged compression should be brought to bear on the puncture site.
