Outpatient angiography using advanced techniques is safe and cost-effective for peripheral vascular disease patients. This minimally invasive approach avoids hospitalization for many, but patient information on potential complications is crucial.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) significantly impacts patient mobility and quality of life.
  • Traditional angiography procedures can be invasive and require hospitalization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of outpatient angiography for abdominal aorta and lower limb peripheral arteries.
  • To assess the potential for cost savings and reduced invasiveness in PVD diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • 100 patients with PVD underwent outpatient angiography.
  • Utilized small 5F catheters, low-osmolar contrast media, and intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (IADSA).

Main Results:

  • The procedure was minimally invasive, with only two minor complications (puncture site thrombosis, transient angina).
  • 42% of patients received conservative treatment, avoiding hospitalization.
  • Outpatient angiography demonstrated significant cost-saving potential.

    • Conclusions:

    • Modern angiography techniques enable safe and effective outpatient procedures for PVD.
    • This approach reduces healthcare costs and patient burden.
    • Informed patient consent regarding potential late complications is essential.
