The clinical analysis of 5F catheter in coronary angiography
Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and safety of 5F catheter in transfemoral coronary angiography.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted among 787 cases that underwent coronary arteriography.They were divided into two groups: 5F or 6F group by using the 5F or 6F catheter.The two groups were contrasted and analyzed in the respect of success rate
operating time
the decrease of coronary artery pressure
ventricular fibrillation
the time to stop bleeding
bedrest time and peripheral vascular complication.Results:No significant differences were observed in the success rate and operating time(P>0.05).But the incidence of the coronary artery pressure decreasing and ventricular fibrillation
the time to stop bleeding
the bedrest time and vessel complication in 5F group were less than those in 6F group(P<0.05).Conclusion:5F catheter has advantages of less vascular complication
easy to stop bleeding
less bedrest time and less pain.Therefore it can be a choice.
