Objective To study heath-related quality of life in patients undergoing successful percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)six months after operation.Methods 172 hospitalized patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected from July 2009 to May 2010.They were divided into the neversmoking group,ever-smoking group and the current-smoking group.The Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) and the Short Form-36 (SF-36)were used to assess the quality of life at baseline and 6 months after intervention.The comparison between groups and self-control comparison within groups were carried out according to each dimension of the questionnaire.Results SF-36 and SAQ score showed no significant difference 24h before the operation and 6 months after the operation between three groups.Patients who had never smoked and who were current smokers acquired higher scores in many dimensions of the questionnaire compared with those before operation,while patients who were former smokers reported reverse resuits.Conclusions There is no sufficient evidence proving that smoking status influences quality of life of patients after PCI,that is to say,it can not be considered that quality of life of smoking patients is lower than that of ever-smoking patients or never-smoking patients,since in this research,quality of life of eversmoking patients decreased after PCI.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of kinesiophobia in patients after heart valve replacement surgery and to analyze its influencing factors, and to provide reference for the intervention research of patients with cardiophobia after cardiac valve replacement.Methods:Using cross-sectional survey method and convenient sampling method, 109 patients who underwent cardiac valve replacement surgery in department of cardiothoracic and vascular surgery of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region People′s Hospital from March 2021 to January 2022 were selected as the study subjects. The patients were surveyed with the general questionnaire, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia and Visual Analogue Scale.Results:After heart valve replacement, the score of Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia was (46.90 ± 9.30) points. The score of Visual Analogue Scale was (5.83 ± 1.01) points. The score of Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia was positively correlated with the score of Visual Analogue Scale ( r=0.46, P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that patient′s age, cardiac function level, left ventricular ejection fraction, pain were the main influencing factors of Kinesiophobia ( t values were -2.37-4.34, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Medical staff should understand and accurately assess the status of patient′s kinesiophobia after heart valve replacement surgery, identify high-risk groups of kinesiophobia, and take targeted nursing measures to effectively alleviate postoperative pain, thereby reducing the incidence of kinesiophobia in patients, helping patients to carry out early functional exercise, and prorroting physical recovery.

Transradial access(TRA)for performing interventional diagnosis and treatment can reduce access site complications.However,TRA can still cause complications in the operated limb,including radial artery spasm,radial artery perforation,hemorrhage,hematoma,radial artery dissection,osteofascial compartment syndrome,nerve injury,pseudoaneurysm,arteriovenous fistula,and radial artery occlusion,among which radial artery spasm is the most commonly seen.At present,the clinical recognition,prevention and treatment of complications of surgical limbs are still insufficient.Therefore,this consensus aims to make a detailed introduction about the identification,prevention and nursing of nine major types of complications of the surgical limb in interventional diagnosis and treatment procedures via radial artery access,to propose 24 recommendations which may provide a reference for medical institutions in carrying out the nursing care for complications of the surgical limb in interventional diagnosis and treatment procedures via radial artery access,and to reduce the occurrence of complications in patients.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:465-471)
