| Popis: | This study was performed to investigate the occurrence of acute angiographic and clinical complications following PTCA using a low osmolar nonionic contrast medium. Five hundred consecutive PTCA procedures were analyzed retrospectively. The incidence of acute in-laboratory complications during PTCA as well as complications occurring during the hospital stay 24 to 48 hours after the procedure were recorded. Occlusion of the dilated artery or a side branch was observed in 19 (3.8%) of the procedures, major dissection in 34 (6.8%), and thrombus in 14 (2.8%). One patient died, 6 (1.2%) required emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), 4 (0.8%) required an emergency PTCA, and 7 (1.4%) suffered myocardial infarction (MI). Our results show that angiographic findings of thrombus, major dissection and occlusion were serious conditions that related to the clinical complications MI, emergency CABG and re-PTCA. Patients with unstable angina were risk patients for both angiographic and clinical complications.... |
