| dc.description.abstract | Purpose: To assess the local complication rate for peripheral percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. | en_GB |
| dc.description.abstract | Methods and Materials: Retrospective data were collected from clinical notes of 141 patients who underwent PTA in our angiosuite from the 1st of January to the 31st of December 2008. | en_GB |
| dc.description.abstract | Results: Early complications (defined for the purpose of this study as occurring within 24hours) were reported in 18patients(15%). These varied significantly in their severity. There was one mortality and one patient had to be admitted to intensive care following puncture site bleeding. Another 6 patients had a documented significant puncture site haematoma. 2 patients had transient acute renal failure (probably caused by contrast administration), which merited a nephrologist consultation. Emergency by-pass surgery was needed in 3 patients, following acute deterioration of their symptoms post procedure. Minor complications were found in further 6 patients [excerpt] | en_GB |
