ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

Cardiac catheterization is increasingly used for the diagnosis or treatment of coronary artery disease. Previous studies that revealed the incidence of complications such as arteriovenous fistula and pseudoaneurysm were based on retrospective analysis of cohorts referred to vascular surgery. This study was designed to determine the incidence of arteriovenous fistula and pseudoaneurysm after percutaneous transluminal angiography.

METHODS:

All 557 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac catheterization were examined by ultrasonography from March 1, 2001 to April 1, 2002, to investigate the occurrence of arteriovenous fistula and pseudoaneurysm at the puncture site.

RESULTS:

Pseudoaneurysm was found in 16 patients (2.9%), and arteriovenous fistula in 12 patients (2.2%). Pseudoaneurysm in 7 patients (43.8%) and arteriovenous fistula in 6 patients (50.0%) were diagnosed only by ultrasonic examination. There were more female patients (9 patients, 56.3%) than male with pseudoaneurysm (p < 0.01). The puncture site was located after the division of the deep femoral artery and superficial femoral artery in all patients with complications.

CONCLUSIONS:

Ultrasonic examination was useful for diagnosis of complications such as arteriovenous fistula and pseudoaneurysm after cardiac catheterization.
