Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Background-Pulmonary artery (PA) balloon angioplasty and/or stenting (PA rehabilitation) is one of the most common procedures performed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, but comprehensive and consistently reported data on procedure-related adverse events (AE) are scarce. Methods and Results-Data were prospectively collected using a multicenter registry (Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Project on Outcomes). All cases that included balloon angioplasty and/or stent implantation in a proximal or lobar PA position were included. Multivariate analysis was used to evaluate for independent predictors of AE and need for early reintervention. Between February 2007 and December 2009, 8 institutions submitted details on 1315 procedures with a PA intervention. An AE was documented in 22% with a high severity (level 3 to 5) AE in 10% of cases. Types of AE included vascular/cardiac trauma (19%), technical AE (15%), arrhythmias (15%), hemodynamic AE (14%), bleeding via endotracheal tube/reperfusion injury (12%), and other AE (24%). AE were classified as not preventable in 50%, possibly preventable in 41%, and preventable in 9%. By multivariate analysis, independent risk factors for level 3 to 5 AE were presence of ≥2 indicators of hemodynamic vulnerability, age below 1 month, use of cutting balloons, and operator experience of <10 years. Reintervention during the study period occurred in 22% of patients undergoing PA rehabilitation. Conclusions-PA rehabilitation is associated with a 10% incidence of high-level severity AE. Hemodynamic vulnerability, young age, use of cutting balloons, and lower operator experience were significant independent risk factors for procedure-related AE.
