Abstract
Periprocedural complications during coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary interventions are relatively rare but potentially life-threatening events. The low incidence of fatal complications, e.g. coronary perforation, implies a relatively low level of routine experience regarding the management of these situations. The aim of this article is to provide a reference for periprocedural complications during coronary diagnostic and interventional procedures using standard operating procedures (SOPs) and checklists. The article thereby, provides the basis for a rational diagnostic and therapeutic approach for the most common complications in the catheter laboratory.
