Bleeding Complications in Lower-Extremity Peripheral Vascular Interventions: Insights From the NCDR PVI Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study sought to assess periprocedural bleeding complications in lower-extremity peripheral vascular interventions (PVIs).

Background

Few studies have examined the incidence, predictors, or outcomes of periprocedural bleeding after lower-extremity PVI.

Methods

The study examined patients undergoing PVI at 76 hospitals in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry PVI registry from 2014 to 2016. Post-PVI major bleeding was defined as any overt bleeding with a hemoglobin (Hb) drop of ≥3 g/dl, any Hb decline of ≥4 g/dl, or blood transfusion in patients with pre-procedure Hb >8 g/dl within 72 h of their procedure. Hierarchical multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors independently associated with post-PVI bleeding. The study also examin
