Complications Survey of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Cross-Sectional Study

The purpose of this research is to examine the perspectives of interventional cardiologists, and the annual incidence of each PCI complications. This study is based on a cross-sectional analysis conducted using the Google Forms. The technique for determining the research subject used in this study was non-random sampling with purposive sampling technique. The anonymity and confidentiality of the information collected is highly prioritized. Annual PCI incidence rates are as follows: 100 (13%) 100–199 (13%), 200–299 (35%) 300 and above (38%). With a mean score of 5.56 on a scale from 0 to 10, participants are very concerned about the possibility of PCI complications. Coronary perforation is the most concerning complication of PCI (83%). Annually, coronary artery dissection occurred between once and five times (73%), coronary perforation occurred between once and five times (50%), and hemodynamic collapse was occurred at one to five times (60.9%). Further, 78.3% of participants never used covered stents, while 32% of participants used balloon tamponade at least one to five times each year. Participating interventional cardiologists in our research have concerns about possible PCI complications. Perforations, dissections, hemodynamic collapse, no-reflow, and entrapment equipment are complications that operators must be ready to identify and control.
