Abstract | dc.description.abstract | There are guidelines about equipment, premises,
personnel, indications and complications rates for coronary angiography, that every center
performing this procedure should adhere. Aim: To report the experience with 5.000 coronary
angiographies and to assess the compliance of the center with the current guidelines. Material
and methods: Prospective registry of 5.000 patients aged 60±11 years (3.475 males) subjected
to coronary angiography since 1992, assessing all aspects of the procedure with special
emphasis on complications. Results: The indications for 80% of procedures was suspected
coronary atherosclerosis. The main risk factors were hypertension and smoking. Coronary
atherosclerosis was demonstrated in 62%, mainly one vessel disease. These were two deaths due
to the procedure (0.04%), three patients (0.06%) had an acute myocardial infarction or a
stroke. These figures are lower than referential values. Conclusions: In this center, coronary
angiography is a safe procedure, with complications rates that are even lower than referential
values | en |
