Abstract

Objectives: The study was conducted with the objectives of investigating complications and factors a newly cardiovascular center. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional, cluster-descriptive study on 144 patients with longitudinal follow-up after 01 month at Thanh Hoa Provincial General Hospital from February 2022 to October 2022. Results: Complications recorded related to cardiac electrophysiological study and radiofrequency catheter ablation: Complications of vascular access: pseudoaneurysm of femoral artery 05 (3.5%) cases, hematoma 14 (9.7%) cases, arteriovenous catheterization 01 (0.69%) cases and thrombosis 10 (6.9%) cases. After the procedure, transient atrioventricular block 03 (2.97%) cases, complete right bundle branch block 01 (0.99%) cases, severe pain 13 (12.8%) cases, vagal hypertrophy 03 (2.97%) cases. Factors related to the likelihood of complications, age ≥ 70 years, comorbidities, especially hypertension, number of sheaths used ≥ 3 and sheath size > 8F (p < 0.005).
