Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) diagnosis often requires invasive imaging.
  • Traditional inpatient observation for femoral arteriography can be resource-intensive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of outpatient femoral arteriography in PVD patients.
  • To assess the impact of an outpatient model on hospital resources and patient experience.

Main Methods:

  • 100 consecutive patients with suspected PVD underwent femoral arteriography.
  • Patients were observed for 7 hours post-procedure in an observation ward.
  • Data on complications, cost savings, and service improvements were collected.

Main Results:

  • No bleeding or other complications were reported in the 100 patients.

  • Significant cost savings of approximately £60.00 per case were identified.
  • Reduced last-minute cancellations due to surgical bed unavailability were observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Outpatient femoral arteriography is a safe and effective procedure for diagnosing PVD.
    • This model offers substantial cost savings and enhances patient service delivery.
    • The outpatient approach minimizes disruptions and improves resource allocation in vascular care.
