Hematocrit fluctuations after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty

A decrease in hematocrit has been reported 12 hours after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA); however, the etiology and clinical significance are uncertain. 1 Significant blood loss is potentially dangerous in patients with tenuous coronary perfusion. This study was undertaken to...

Zusammenfassung:	A decrease in hematocrit has been reported 12 hours after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA); however, the etiology and clinical significance are uncertain. 1 Significant blood loss is potentially dangerous in patients with tenuous coronary perfusion. This study was undertaken to determine the degree and duration of hematocrit change and the incidence of transfusion after PTCA.
