| Description | We assessed the rate and identified risk factors for postprocedure vascular complications following direct percutaneous intervention (dPCI). Methods: Data were collected on 881 consecutive patients who underwent dPCI in our cath–lab from January 2002 to December 2003. Multivariate regression was used to identify characteristics associated with vascular complications. Results: Out of 881 patients, hematoma was found in 148 (16.8 %) cases. Pseudoaneurysm was detected by ultrasound in 40 (4.5 %) patients, 5 (0.6 %) patients underwent surgery. Variables associated with increased risk included age, female sex, low body mass index (BMI) and body surface area (BSA) and presence of diabetes mellitus. Conclusions: Predicting the risk of post-PCI vascular complications is feasible. This information may be useful for clinical decision-making and institutional efforts at quality improvement. |
