PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGY Complications Associated With Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization
Objectives. The aim of this study was to determine the relative risks of pediatric diagnostic, interventional and electrophysiologic catheterizations. Background. The role of the pediatric catheterization laboratory has evolved in the last decade as a therapeutic modality, although remaining an important tool for anatomic and hemodynamic diagnosis. Methods. A study of 4,952 consecutive pediatri...
متن کاملPulse fluoroscopy radiation reduction in a pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory.
OBJECTIVE To determine if lower starting pulse fluoroscopy rates lead to lower overall radiation exposure without increasing complication rates or perceived procedure length or difficulty. SETTING The pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory at University of Michigan Mott Children's Hospital. PATIENTS Pediatric patients with congenital heart disease. DESIGN/INTERVENTIONS We performed ...
متن کاملComplications of pediatric cardiac catheterization: a 3-year study.
To determine the current risk of pediatric cardiac catheterization, the complications and incidents of all catheterizations performed in a pediatric laboratory between January 1986 and October 1988 were prospectively recorded and compared with results from a 1974 study from the same institution. In the current study 1,037 catheterizations, 885 diagnostic and 152 diagnostic/interventional proced...
متن کاملRadiation exposure in different cardiac catheterization procedures in cath lab.
BACKGROUND Interventional procedures render cardiologolists and their team members to high doses of radiations. This study was conducted to assess the radiation exposure in various cardiac catheterization procedures. METHODS This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted at the catheterization laboratory of Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar from November 2008 to December 2009. Patients wer...
متن کاملComplications of Cardiac Catheterization
Because all cardiac catheterizations involve the insertion of foreign objects (i.e., cardiac catheters) into the circulatory system, it should not be surprising that a variety of adverse events (complications) can ensue. These complications range from minor problems with no long-term sequelae (e.g., transient bradycardia during coronary contrast injection) to major problems [e.g., cardiac perfo...
