Abstract

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Vascular complications have been recognized as an important factor in morbidity after diagnostic and percutaneous coronary interventions. OBJECTIVE: This study sought to evaluate vascular body mass index and sheath size as risk factors for vascular complications after diagnostic coronary angiography via femoral approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This historical prospective cohort study was carried out from February 2012 till January 2013, at the Iraqi Center for the Heart Disease. A total number of 2400 patients underwent 3600 procedures, diagnostic coronary angiography (2196) and PCI(1404) via their common femoral arteries. Result: Body surface area > 2m2 is a statistically significant factor for vascular complications, and
