Abstract
SUMMARY
:::ardiac catheter is an important tool used over the last 50 years
.nat opened a new era of special interest in diagnosis and
I”eatment of coronary heart diseases.
Cardiac catheterization unit of Benha university hospital was
constructed in 1997 , since that time, the activity of the unit is
expanding.
This study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency and
compatibility of the unit as regard diagnostic and
intervention procedures during the last 2 years with
special reference to cases of coronary artery disease.
”he total number of coronary angiography done during 2003 &
;~004was (615); of them (535) D.C.A and (80) P.C.1 .
ln this study, the success rate of femoral approach in D.C.A
(luring 2003 & 2004 was ( 98.3%).
The success rate offemoral approach in D.C.A during 2003 was
197.6%,) and during 2004 was (99.2 %).
The success rate of P.C.1 in the unit during 2003 & 2004 was
193.75’% ).
The success rate of P.C.! during 2003 was (90.4%) and during
:W04was (97.4’Yo) with significant difference.
The success rates ofP.C.1 according to the lesion type in Benha
mit were (100 %) for type A lesions, (97.6 %.) for type B
esions and (63.7 %) for type C lesions.
Tne total number of cases that developed complications in
nc.A during 2003 was (II) cases (3.7%), while during 2004
was (4) cases (1.6’%) . This indicates better selection of cases
and improving skills and facilities.
The total number of cases that had complications in D.C.A were
(15) cases (2.8%.).
The mean age of complicated cases was ( 51±1) years, the
incidence of D.M was ( 43.75%) , HTN ( 26.6%) , smoking
(37.5%) , multi vessel disease ( 18.75%) , two vessels disease
(~6.6%), the mean EF was (49%).
Total number of cases that developed complications in P.C.I
during 2003 were (3) cases (7.1 ’%) , while during 2004 was (2)
cases (5.2%). This indicates that incidence of complications is
declining year by year.
Tile total number of cases that had complications in P.C.! were
(:;) cases (6.2%).
T’ie mean age of complicated cases was (51) years , the
incidence ofD.M was ( 100%), HTN (40%) , smoking (40%)
, multivessel disease ( 20%) , two vessels disease (60%) the
mean EF was ( 48.2% ).
Tne activity of the unit included also during 2003 & 2004, 10
cases of electrophysiological studies (EPS) , 18 cases of
percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty(PMV) , one case of
pcrcuraneous pulmonary valvuloplasty and 11 cases of
permanent pacemaker.
