Thromboembolic Complications in Coronary Angiography

Abstract: The effect of acetyl-salicylic acid to prevent thromboembolic complications in coronary angiography is reported. No significant difference in fatality rate between the period without and the period with acetyl-salicylic acid was found but significantly less cerebral emboli when acetyl-salicylic acid was given prophylactically.

“…The results suggest that following angiography there is generalised platelet activation, which would certainly increase the risk of thrombotic and thromboembolic complications. Previous workers have confirmed the presence of platelet aggregates on the end of angiography catheters (Taveras & Wood 1976, Storstein et al 1977 and one group (Storstein et al 1977) advocated using prophylactic aspirin in coronary angiography. The increased numbers of circulating aggregates and increased platelet aggregability in two patients with complications following angiography (Nansen et al.…”
