30 12 INTRODUCTION According to WHO 2022, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality and illness burden in developing countries. Every year, in the United States, more than 700,000 people are hospitalized due to myocardial infarction (MI), and 50% of patients with acute MI die before reaching the hospital. Despite the considerable breakthroughs in detection and treatment over the past few decades, coronary heart disease, especially MI, still remains a public health problem in developed countries and is becoming increasingly important in the developing world. Vietnam is one of these developing nations [1].
Percutaneous coronary imaging and intervention (PCI) is the gold standard in the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. PCI can have many complications during the procedure such as death, MI, contrast-induced nephropathy, and bleeding in the arterial access [2]. Currently, the femoral artery and the radial artery are the two common vascular approaches in the recommendations for diagnosing and treating coronary artery disease. In particular, complications at the puncture site are the most common clinical complications and increase mortality and periprocedural events.
Therefore, limiting these incidents during and after the intervention plays a crucial role. Many studies have been done to detect factors that increase the risk of complications. The study of Yohei Numasawa recorded the rate of bleeding complications at the puncture site as 26.5% in which age, gender and BMI, sheath size, the diameter of the artery being vascularized, time of compression, and antiretroviral drugs are the relevant factors [4]. Vaso-occlusive complications have been reported with rates ranging from 0.
In Vietnam, according to research by author Thu T.N, the complication rate of the procedure is hematoma (11.3%), and closely related to arterial access [5]. Another study by Binh T. on 252 patients showed that local vascular complications (LVC) of the femoral artery procedure group: bleeding 0%, large hematoma (>10cm) was 1.17%, small hematoma 5-10 cm 2.12% pseudoaneurysm, artery occlusion in 0. LVC of the radial procedure 0 group: 0% bleeding, small hematoma 5-10 cm 1.
The risk factors for the femoral artery were age, gender, and blood pressure, while for the radial artery, it was only blood pressure [6]. In the literature, there have been many studies referring to complications of vascular access in the world as well as in Vietnam in particular. However, during the course of the Covid-19 epidemic with many differences in entering blood vessel devices as well as depending on the experience of the surgeon because the Vietnam National Heart Institute is a training unit in cardiovascular intervention with numerous students. Therefore, we perform this study “LOCAL VASCULAR COMPLICATIONS AFTER CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY AND/OR PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION AND RELATED FACTORS AT CORONARY CARE UNIT OF VIETNAM NATIONAL HEART INSTITUTE, BACH MAI HOSPITAL.”, for the following two purposes: 1.
Evaluate the proportion of local vascular complications (LVC) after coronary angiography and/or coronary intervention at the Coronary Care Unit, Vietnam Heart Institute in 2022. Investigate some factors related to complications of puncture wounds in patients with coronary angiography and/or intervention at the Coronary Care Unit, Vietnam Heart Institute in 2022. 1 CHAPTER 1: LITERATURE REVIEW 1. Coronary artery disease Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading health burden in developing and developed countries; is responsible for one-third of all deaths in adults over the age of 35 worldwide.
In Vietnam, coronary artery disease has also become one of the headmost causes of mortality. In 2016, according to a report by WHO, it was estimated that 31% of deaths in Vietnam were due to cardio disease, of which more than half were due to coronary artery disease. Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease includes two clinical syndromes: Figure 1. Diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes [53] Chronic coronary syndrome is a new term introduced at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2019, instead of stable angina pectoris, stable CAD, chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy, or coronary insufficiency.
Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) include ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), unstable angina (UA) (Figure 1.1) 1 Approach to acute coronary syndromes (Figure 1. Approach to acute coronary syndromes [53] 2 1. Percutaneous coronary artery imaging and intervention (PCI) Percutaneous coronary angiography and intervention are the gold standards in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. Intravascular access in coronary angiography and intervention 1.
Importance of vascular access One of the most essential steps in percutaneous coronary angiography and intervention is the vascular access selection. Selectable entry sites are the femoral artery, brachial artery, or radial artery. However, regardless of artery location, the instrument, technique, and experience of the surgeons play an essential role in ensuring the success of the procedure and minimizing the risk of associated complications. Complications related to the puncture site not only affect the effectiveness of the intervention but can also alter patient outcomes.
A study by Mamas et al in 2013 of 46,128 patients undergoing coronary angiography and intervention showed that radial bypass was an independent factor in reducing 30-day mortality (HR 0.05), major bleeding events (HR 0.01), complications related to the puncture site (HR 0.
