Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To explore the cause, the clinical manifestation and the management of peripheral vascular complications after cardiac catheterization.
METHODS:Clinical data of patients with peripheral vascular complications were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTS:Of the 4,531 patients, 122 (2.7%) had peripheral vascular complications, including local hematoma (86 cases, 1.90%), pseudoaneurysm (15 cases, 0.33%), arteriovenous fistula (8 cases, 0.18%), femoral venous thrombosis (5 cases, 0.11%), excessive hemorrhage (5 cases, 0.11%), femoral arterial thrombosis (2 cases, 0.04%), and femoral nerve malfunction (1 case, 0.02%). All complications were relieved after conservative therapy except that one case needed surgery.
CONCLUSION:Peripheral vascular complications are associated with anticoagulation, diabetes, and hypertension. Prognosis of overwhelming complications is good, as long as patients are treated timely and appropriately.
