Abstract Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) could be a serious outcome complicating percutaneous coronary intervention patients affecting both morbidity and mortality. Incidence of CIN is greatly affected by many risk factors. Preprocedural risk factors and clinical status are the most important and common predictors of developing renal impairment post contrast medium exposure. Data on vascular access as an independent risk factor for contrastinduced nephropathy in patients undergoing coronary angiography are conflicting. We aimed in this study to study the relation between vascular access and development of contrast induced nephropathy in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention to help minimize CIN. So, we included 300 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention at cardiovascular medicine department Tanta university hospitals starting from March 2022 till October 2022. Patients were divided into 2 groups: group I: 150 patients who underwent trans-femoral PCI. group II: 150 patients who underwent trans-radial PCI. Our study didn’t show significant difference in minimizing the risk of CIN between the two comparable approaches. |
