Outpatient coronary angiography (CAG) is safe and well-accepted by patients. This study found a very low risk for outpatient procedures, with high patient satisfaction regarding information and preference for ambulatory care.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Patient Safety

Context:

  • Coronary angiography (CAG) is a common diagnostic procedure.
  • Assessing the feasibility and patient acceptance of outpatient versus inpatient procedures is crucial for healthcare efficiency.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the patient safety and attitudes towards outpatient coronary angiography (CAG).
  • To compare patient satisfaction and preferences between outpatient and inpatient CAG settings.

Summary:

  • A study of 115 patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) found that 72% were discharged directly home.
  • Only 1% of de facto ambulatory patients required readmission (groin hematoma).
  • High patient satisfaction was reported, with 97% of ambulatory patients preferring outpatient CAG.

Impact:

  • Outpatient CAG demonstrates a very low risk profile.
  • Patient acceptance and preference for outpatient procedures are high, suggesting potential for increased ambulatory care in cardiology.
  • Findings support the implementation of outpatient CAG services to improve patient experience and potentially reduce healthcare costs.
