Complications after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and associated factors

This study aimed to analyze the incidence of vascular complications and associated factors in patients undergoing elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. This study is observational, quantitative, and longitudinal, and followed 50 patients undergoing elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. An instrument for the sociodemographic, clinical, procedure, and vascular complications characterization was used for data collection. And descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis, and multiple binomial logistic regression were used for data analysis. The level of statistical significance considered was 95%. It was detected the prevalence of male patients (70%), elderly (54%), and diagnosed with systemic arterial hypertension (72%). As for the percutaneous access route prevailed the radial approach (64%). Age and body mass index were identified as possible risk factors for vascular complications. In the 50 procedures performed, there was a prevalence of hematomas (20%) and bleeding (10%). Among the complications prevailed radial Early Discharge After Transradial Stenting of Coronary (60%), large femoral hematoma (20%), small femoral hematoma (20%), and bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium 2) (100%). The results concluded an elevated incidence of vascular complications in the first 24 hours after elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. This study contributes to research, assistance, and training in health and nursing by identifying post-PTCA vascular complications, minimizing their progression, handling their management, and developing health care safety protocols.

Aspectos clínicos e epidemiológicos dos clientes submetidos à cineangiocoronariografia / Clinical and epidemiological aspects of patients who underwent coronary angiography / Aspectos clínicos y epidemiológicos de los clientes sometidos a cineangiocoronariografia

As doenças cardiovasculares representam a principal causa de morbimortalidade e estão associadas a vários fatores de risco. Trata-se de um estudo observacional, transversal, que teve como objetivos caracterizar os clientes submetidos à cineangiocoronariografia, segundo as variáveis socioeconômicas, clínicas e epidemiológicas, identificar os fatores de risco para coronariopatias e o conhecimento prévio sobre o procedimento. Foram entrevistados 107 clientes na Unidade de Hemodinâmica de um hospital de ensino de grande porte de Minas Gerais. Os dados foram analisados segundo estatística descritiva. A média de idade foi de 60,13 anos; 51,4% eram do sexo masculino; 75,7% afirmaram que tinham hipertensão arterial; 37,4%, que tinham história pregressa de infarto agudo do miocárdio; 46,7%, dislipidemia; 58,9%eram tabagistas; 25,2% etilistas; 70,1% sedentários; 35,5% tinham sobrepeso; 19,6% eram obesos; e 28,9% tinham diabetes mellitus. A maioria relatou que conhecia o procedimento e já o tinha realizado. Esses achados apontam para a necessidade de implementação de novos programas de prevenção de doença coronariana, tendo em vista os aspectos epidemiológicos identificados nessa população.

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. These diseases are associated with multiplerisk factors. This is an observational study that aimed to characterize patients who underwent coronary angiography, according to the socio, clinical and epidemiological variable and to identify the coronary heart disease risk factors and the patients’ previous knowledge about the procedure. We interviewed 107 clients in the catheterization lab of a large teaching hospital in Minas Gerais. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The average age was 60.13 years, 51.4% were male, 75.7% had hypertension, 37.4% had a history of myocardial infarction, 46.7% had dyslipidemia, 58.9% were smokers, 25.2% consumed alcohol, 70.1% were sedentary, 35.5% were overweight, 19.6% were obese and 28.9% had diabetes mellitus. Most patients reported being familiar with the procedure and had already been submitted to it previously. In view of the epidemiological aspects identified among this population the study findings highlight the need for the implementation of new programs directed to the prevention of coronary disease.
