Insights
Percutaneous coronary and carotid interventions carry risks of arterial injury and thrombosis. This review details risk factors, prevention, and treatment for these iatrogenic complications in endovascular procedures.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Interventional Cardiology
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- Percutaneous coronary and carotid interventions are standard treatments for arterial diseases.
- These procedures carry significant risks of iatrogenic lesions and arterial thrombosis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the literature on iatrogenic injuries and thrombotic complications following endovascular interventions.
- To analyze risk factors, causes, and mechanisms of these complications in coronary and carotid arteries.
- To detail the incidence, prevention, and treatment of iatrogenic injuries and thrombosis.
Main Methods:
- Comprehensive review of national and international literature.
- Analysis of studies focusing on endovascular interventions for coronary and carotid arteries.
- Specific focus on coronary artery perforations during percutaneous coronary interventions.
Main Results:
- Identified various risk factors contributing to iatrogenic lesions and thrombosis.
- Detailed mechanisms leading to arterial damage and clot formation.
- Presented incidence rates and discussed current prevention and treatment strategies.
Conclusions:
- Iatrogenic injuries and thrombotic complications are significant risks in percutaneous interventions.
- Effective prevention and management strategies are crucial for patient safety.
- Optimal approaches for minimizing and treating these complications require further refinement.
Abstract:
Percutaneous coronary and carotid interventions prevail in the treatment of coronary artery and cerebrovascular diseases. However, the risk of iatrogenic lesions and arterial thrombosis remains high. The authors analyze national and foreign literature devoted to iatrogenic injuries and thrombotic complications following emergency endovascular interventions. Various risk factors, causes and mechanisms of iatrogenic lesions and thrombosis of coronary and carotid arteries are considered. Particular attention is paid to perforations of coronary arteries in percutaneous coronary interventions. The incidence and various methods for prevention and treatment of iatrogenic injuries and thrombotic complications are described in detail. Optimal ways for prevention and treatment of these complications are presented.
