Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous pericardiocentesis is a procedure used in cases of cardiac tamponade and for diagnosing unclear chronic pericardial effusions, and this study analyzed the patient characteristics and factors affecting in-hospital mortality.
- A total of 247 patients underwent the procedure between 2011 and 2022, with a 5.67% in-hospital mortality rate and 9.72% requiring repeat procedures, predominantly due to iatrogenic causes and neoplastic diseases.
- Key mortality predictors included myocardial infarction-related causes and recurrent cardiogenic shock, highlighting a higher risk in patients with spontaneous tamponade linked to heart attacks.
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) can lead to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and impaired in-hospital and long-term outcomes among cardiac patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of repeated contrast media (CM) administration during a single hospitalization on the rate of CI-AKI. The study group ( = 138) comprised patients with different diagnoses who received CM more than once during hospitalization, while the control group ( = 153) involved CAD patients subject to a single CM dose.
