| Popis: | Objective We examined trans-radial approach (TRA) use in coronary angiographies (CAs) as well as in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in specific regions of Greece, its distribution in public and private catheterization laboratories (CLs) and its preference by operators. Reliable data regarding the use of TRA are not available in Greece. Methods The study was performed in northern and central Greece, which constitutes 35.32% of the national population. This study focused on the years 2004, 2009 and 2013. Results There are 12 CLs. CAs performed using TRA were 0.43% in 2004, 12.28% in 2009 and 39.81% in 2013, whereas PCIs performed using TRA were 0.38%, 9.20% and 39.48%, respectively. Operators familiar with TRA, but who performed TRA electively, were 13.33% in 2004, 60.38% in 2009 and 42.37% in 2013. However, operators performing TRA routinely were 2.2%, 5.66%, and 49.15%, respectively. In 2013, there was a 3.76% decrease in CAs and 4.51% decrease in PCIs compared to 2009; in private CLs, there was a 29.63% decrease in CAs and 34.72% decrease in PCIs performed, which was contradictory to the 27.27% increase observed in CAs and 29.83% increase in PCIs in public CLs. Conclusions This is the first study to reveal the volumes and trends in interventions performed via TRA across central and northern Greece. TRA has gained a reputation among operators in both public and private CLs. Due to the financial crisis in Greece, catheterizations have been diminished, whereas private CLs have lost a great amount of their turnover. |
