Can percutaneous coronary interventions be performed safely in leukemia patients?
1Northside Cardiovascular Institute, Atlanta, Georgia.
Abstract:
Patients with leukemia are often denied percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and those who do undergo PCI are older and sicker. There is a minor increase in vascular complications and no increase in retroperitoneal bleeds, suggesting transfusions may be given for reasons unrelated to the PCI. Since cardiac complications are not increased in leukemia patients, the increased mortality observed in after PCI in acute leukemia may be related more to underlying malignancy.
