Combined cardiac catheterization and carotid cineangiography: an analysis of complications
Abstract:
Two hundred fifty-three patients underwent cardiac catheterization with selective cineangiography of the carotid arteries. Diagnostic angiograms of both the right and left carotid arteries were obtained in 240 patients (95%). Of these, 217 patients (90%) were studied without complication, 18 (8%) had minor complications, and five (2%) had major complications. Four of the five major complications occurred in patients with bilateral carotid atherosclerosis obliterans. Variations of catheterization technique used in an effort to reduce risk are discussed.
