Outpatient coronary angiography: indications, safety, and complication rates

R R Heuser

Abstract

In the years since the introduction of outpatient cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography, the indications for the use of these procedures have expanded rapidly with advancements in surgical and endovascular procedures. The safety of outpatient coronary angiography has been well established, comparing very favorably with that of inpatient procedures. At present, a variety of different outpatient facilities exist. Catheterization laboratories may adjoin a hospital or be free-standing; the safety and success of procedures performed in mobile cardiac catheterization laboratories has also been described. There are a variety of access techniques for cardiac catheterization in use today, and there are many types and sizes of catheters available. Miniaturization of equipment has reduced complications and allowed early ambulation and discharge from outpatient laboratories. In addition, the development and refinement of catheters and techniques for achieving hemostasis may allow further reductions in patient stay and complications. The complication rates of outpatient cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography are, in fact, quite low--in some cases, lower complication rates are seen in the outpatient population than in th...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
