Periprocedural And In-Hospital Outcomes Among Percutaneous Coronary Intervention In Saphenous Vein Graft: A Retrospective Observational Study At A Tertiary Care Hospital In South Asian Country, Abdul Baqi, Sheema Saadia
Section of Cardiology
Background: Saphenous vein graft (SVG) may occlude either early or several months to years after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Doing re-do CABG surgery is associated with higher complication and mortality rate as compared to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in SVG. However, PCI of SVG is associated with more periprocedural and in-hospital complications as compared to PCI of native coronary arteries. Due to the scarcity of local data in this regard, this study was designed to estimate the periprocedural and in-hospital outcomes among PCI in SVG.
Objectives: We aim to study the periprocedural and in-hospital outcomes among patients who …
