Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Cardiology

Background:

  • Outpatient procedures are increasingly common in vascular interventions.
  • Assessing the safety and feasibility of outpatient angioplasty is crucial for healthcare efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of outpatient angioplasty and angiography procedures.
  • To identify potential complications associated with outpatient vascular interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 111 outpatients undergoing angioplasty or angiography with angioplasty over 5.5 years.
  • Procedures performed on abdominal aorta, renal, iliac, superficial femoral, popliteal, peroneal, celiac, and superior mesenteric arteries.
  • Utilized common femoral, antegrade femoral, and high brachial artery approaches.

Main Results:

  • 149 angioplasty procedures were performed on 106 patients; 5 underwent angiography only.
  • Low complication rates were observed, including a puncture-site pseudoaneurysm and transient hypertension.
  • One patient required surgical revascularization after an unsuccessful renal artery stenosis intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Outpatient angioplasty is a feasible approach for treating various arterial lesions.
  • Careful patient selection and monitoring are essential for managing potential complications in outpatient settings.
