Name of journal: Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & InterventionsAbstract: BACKGROUND: Retroperitoneal hemorrhage (RPH) is a serious but infrequent complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to describe the clinical outcomes of patients who developed RPH following PCI in the current practice era, with particular focus on treatment strategies and the related prognostic value of abdominal/pelvic computed tomography (CT).CONCLUSIONS: RPH remains as a serious complication of PCI and is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity independently of the therapeutic strategy. In patients who were hemodynamically stable, RPH volume as quantified by non-contrast abdominal/pelvic CT did not contribute to prognosis. Copyright 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.METHODS: Among 20,904 patients undergoing PCI, we identified 93 RPH (0.45%) confirmed by CT or by unequivocal surgical findings. We identified three groups with RPH for comparison: patients who developed refractory shock (systolic blood pressure <80 mm Hg for >=30 min despite fluids and vasopressors, n = 16 [17.2%]); patients with transient hypotension (<30 min, n = 34 [36.6%]); and patients without hypotension (n = 43 [46.2%]). The primary endpoint was a composite of in-hospital mortality, myocardial infarction, and cerebral vascular accident (CVA).RESULTS: Baseline clinical, angiographic, and procedural characteristics were similar among the three groups. Patients who developed refractory shock had significantly more bleeding quantified by abdominal/pelvic CT (P < 0.001), had a higher rate and amount of red blood cell transfusion (P < 0.001), and were managed invasively more frequently (68.7%) than the rest of the population. The primary endpoint trended higher in patients presenting with refractory shock; however, this difference was not statistically significant. The volume of bleeding quantified by CT and the timing of imaging diagnosis did not correlate with the primary endpoint. Red blood cell transfusion, but not clopidogrel discontinuation, was associated with the primary endpoint.All authors: A Gaglia M Jr, Ben-Dor I, Bernardo NL, F Satler L, Maluenda G, Mitulescu L, Pichard AD, Torguson R, Waksman R, Weissman GDigital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2013-09-17
