Sažetak
Background: Patients can be exposed to high skin doses during complex interventional cardiology (IC) procedures. Purpose: To identify which clinical and technical parameters affect patient exposure and peak skin dose (PSD) and to establish dose reference levels (DRL) per clinical complexity level in IC procedures. Material and Methods: Validation and Estimation of Radiation skin Dose in Interventional Cardiology (VERIDIC) pro- ject analyzed prospectively collected patient data from eight European countries and 12 hospitals where percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), chronic total occlusion PCI (CTO), and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) pro- cedures were performed. A total of 62 clinical complexity parameters and 31 technical parameters were collected, uni- variate regressions were performed to identify those parameters affecting patient exposure and define DRL accordingly.
