Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate predictors and consequences of acute vascular access site complications (ASCs) related to peripheral endovascular diagnostic or interventional procedures. Despite improvement of puncture techniques, access site–related morbidity and mortality is still considerable. Materials and Methods: A total of 5263 participants who underwent 5385 endovascular procedures at a single center were consecutively included in this prospective, observational study. Primary outcomes were ASCs defined as composite of puncture site hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, and overt puncture site bleeding on the first day after procedure. Results: ASCs occurred in 16.6% of peripheral endovascular procedures (78.6% hematomas, 18.9% pseudoaneurysms, 1.4% arteriovenous fistulas, 1.1% overt bleedings). Independent predictors were advanced age [odds ratio (OR) per 10 years: 1.12, p=0.004], female sex (OR men, 0.77; p=0.001), lysis (OR 3.56; p5000 IU, 3.56; p=0.02), time to access (OR per 10 seconds, 1.01; p<0.001), sheath size (OR per French, 1.59; p<0.001), brachial artery access (OR vs retrograde transfemoral, 4.58; p<0.001), and compression only (OR Angio-Seal, 0.57, p=0.02; ProGlide, 0.36, p<0.001; FemoSeal, 0.57, p<0.001). Treatment was required in 20.2% and prolonged hospitalization in 17.7% of ASC. Three participants died from access site–related bleeding. Conclusion: ASCs after peripheral endovascular procedures are associated with advanced age, female sex, periprocedural antithrombotic medication, brachial artery access, postinterventional bleeding, and nonuse of vascular closure devices.Keywords
