[The problem of complications of percutaneous coronary interventions. Part II. Peripheral complications]

Area of Science:

• Cardiovascular Medicine
• Interventional Cardiology
• Vascular Surgery

Context:

• Peripheral vascular complications are a significant issue following diagnostic and curative catheterizations in invasive cardiology.
• The increasing volume of interventional procedures worldwide heightens the relevance of managing these complications.
• A notable trend towards less invasive treatment strategies for vascular injuries has emerged.

Purpose:

• To review contemporary nonsurgical methods for correcting iatrogenic injuries of peripheral vessels.
• To delineate the most effective scenarios for applying these minimally invasive techniques.
• To present long-term outcome data for nonsurgical interventions.

Summary:

• This review details current nonsurgical approaches to managing peripheral vascular complications arising from cardiac catheterization.
• It evaluates the efficacy of these methods in various clinical situations and provides data on their long-term success.
• Focus is placed on less invasive techniques as an alternative to traditional surgical repair.

Impact:

• Provides an updated overview of minimally invasive treatment options for iatrogenic vascular injuries.
• Aids interventional cardiologists and vascular specialists in selecting optimal treatment strategies.
• Contributes to improved patient outcomes by highlighting effective nonsurgical management of procedural complications.
