Abstract:
:Bleeding complications following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) have been closely associated with morbidity and mortality. Although radial arteries have been widely used in current PCI, including primary PCI, transfemoral PCI remains necessary for complex PCI. The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of complications following elective transfemoral PCI between manual compression with and without protamine. We identified 249 consecutive patients who underwent elective transfemoral PCI from hospital records, and divided them into two groups: patients who used protamine for manual compression (the protamine group; n = 205) and patients who did not (the non-protamine group, n = 44). Complications including acute thrombosis, bleeding requiring blood transfusion, transient hypotension, skin rash, and death within 30 days were compared between groups. The baseline clinical and procedural characteristics were comparable between the protamine and non-protamine groups. The incidences of all complications were not different between the protamine (5.9%) and the non-protamine groups (9.1%) (P = 0.43). While more than 90% of the patients received drug-eluting stent implantation, there was no acute thrombus in either group. The incidence of bleeding requiring blood transfusion was significantly lower in the protamine group (0.5%) than in the non-protamine group (6.8%) (P = 0.002). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed the inverse association between protamine use and bleeding requiring blood transfusion (odds ratio 0.08, 95% confidence interval 0.01-0.84, P = 0.04). In conclusion, the use of protamine for manual compression following elective transfemoral PCI was safe and was associated with less bleeding complications.
