Objective To analyze the risk factors for iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm(PSA)occurring after cardiovascular interventional procedures.Methods The clinical data of 48 patients,who developed PSA after receiving cardiovascular interventional procedure at the Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital of China between January 2018 and December 2022,were retrospectively analyzed.The control group included 192 patients who had no PSA.At a case-control ratio of 1∶4,the PSA patients and non-PSA patients were paired,and the paired indicators included age,and puncture site.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the patients'basic data,hematological examination,and situation of the interventional procedure,and the independent risk factors were screened out.Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the high body mass index(BMI,OR=1.324,95%CI=1.097-1.598,P=0.003),smoking history(OR=4.477,95%CI=1.599-12.536,P=0.004),use of antiplatelet agents(OR=4.861,95%CI=1.018-23.214,P=0.047),combination use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant(OR=26.994,95%CI=2.353-309.686,P=0.008),the operator of the interventional procedure being an attending physician(OR=5.817,95%CI=1.139-29.717,P=0.034),low haemoglobin level(OR=0.946,95%CI=0.922-0.971,P<0.01),elevated D-dimer level(OR=2.407,95%CI=1.367-4.239,P=0.002),long-time interventional operation(OR=1.019,95%CI=1.005-1.033,P=0.009),and sheath size>6 F(OR=4.368,95%CI=1.196-15.947,P=0.026)were the independent risk factors for PSA occurring after cardiovascular interventional surgery.Conclusion High BMI,smoking history,use of antiplatelet agents,combination use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant,the operator of the interventional procedure being an attending physician,low haemoglobin level,elevated D-dimer level,long-time interventional operation,and sheath size>6 F are the independent risk factors for PSA occurring after cardiovascular interventional procedure,which can provide a basis for the early prevention of PSA.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:646-650)
