PCI complications: peri procedure bleeding
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
Overview
Peri-procedure bleeding is one of the most frequent complications of percutaneous coronary interventions, and independent predictor of mortality.[1]
Although periprocedural bleeding is almost unavoidable clinical complication in coagulopathies, [2] manipulation after a careful evaluation of the patient may help to reduce its frequency. [3]
