Key result
Complications of percutaneous cardiac interventions were the leading cause of cardiac tamponade and had lower long-term mortality (28%) compared to malignancies, MI, and bleeding (80%, p<0.001).
Observational (n=83)
No
Absolute Event Rate: 28% vs 80%
p-value: p=<0.001
In the contemporary era, iatrogenic complications of percutaneous cardiac interventions have replaced malignancies as the leading cause of cardiac tamponade, though they carry a more favorable prognosis than traditional causes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Iatrogenic tamponade now predominates with lower mortality; extends observational etiology data but leaves open prospective validation.
Orbach et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Cardiac tamponade (n=83). Complications of percutaneous cardiac interventions vs. Malignancies, MI complications, and bleeding/coagulation abnormalities was evaluated on Long-term mortality (p=<0.001). Complications of percutaneous cardiac interventions were the leading cause of cardiac tamponade and had lower long-term mortality (28%) compared to malignancies, MI, and bleeding (80%, p<0.001).
