Abstract
R A L A B ST R A C T S Victoria since 2004. The Coronary Angiogram Database of South Australia (CADOSA) is a comprehensive registry of all public cardiac catheterization procedures performed within South Australia since 2011. Data from MIG and PCI data from CADOSA was utilised to assess the prevalence of r-PCI and vascular complications of radial and femoral access approaches for procedures undertaken in 2012. Results: In 2012, there were 1358 PCI procedures across the four public hospitals in SA and 2203 PCI procedures across the 6 public hospitals in Victoria. SA had a considerably higher proportion of r-PCI than Victoria (55% vs. 21%). In SA, r-PCI was performed in 78% of acute coronary syndromes cases compared to 71% in Victoria. The vascular and bleeding outcomes were similar and favoured radial approach in both states. See table.
