Abstract:A b s t r a c tBackground: Currently the majority of coronary and peripheral interventions are performed with an overnight stay. This increases the cost and does not reduce logistic constraints on hospital resources. We hypothesised that by combining bivalirudin with vascular closure devices we can safely discharge patients on the same day after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) without increasing their risk of bleeding.
Aim:To evaluate the safety and the … Show more
“…Some hospitals successfully apply same-day discharge hospitalisation protocols for patients electively treated with coronary or peripheral procedures [16][17][18]. In Poland, in 2001 newly-formed centres of the American Heart of Poland introduced a model of invasive procedures based on short-term hospital stays.…”
