Methods and materials
This retrospective study includes 23,870 index procedures performed in two centers,
from January 2006 to October 2012.
We collected demographic,
procedural and mortality data obtained from the Eastern Danish Heart Registry.
Data were cross-matched with information from the Danish Vascular Registry on vascular access complications requiring surgical intervention within 30 days after the intervention.
An index procedure was defined as any first time a patient had an acute or elective trans-femoral coronary angiography eventually combined with percutaneous coronary intervention.
Statistics: Logistic regression analyses were used to identify variables associated with femoral vascular access complications.
The significance level was set at 0.05.
The setup involved multiple significance testing and thus the level of significance was lowered to p<0.005 in accordance to Bonferroni.
Statistics analysis was done using the software IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows,
version 22.0 (Armonk,
NY: IBM Corp).
