Popis: Objective: to investigate vascular complications in patients undergoing percutaneous hemodynamic procedures and identify factors related to their occurrence. Method: retrospective study conducted in a cardiology hospital with patients who had vascular damage between January 2015 and December 2016. Data were collected from medical records and submitted to descriptive analysis. Results: the study included 93 patients, most of them elderly, male and with hypertension. The rate of vascular complication was 3%, local hematoma was the most common complication (86%). Women were found to have more serious vascular injuries such as retroperitoneal hematoma and pseudoaneurysm than men did (p = 0.04). Conclusion: hematoma was the most frequent vascular complication, and female gender was a risk predictor associated with more serious injuries. Recognizing risk predictors contributes to the delivery of care tailored to the needs of each patient.
