Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Major Peripheral Vascular Events
Time Frame: 7 - 14 days
Major peripheral vascular events occurring during femoral catheterization followed by Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), which include any of the following: Groin bleeding, including oozing or spurting after standard compression time necessitating further compression; Groin hematoma ≥ 5 cm at any time during or after the procedure; Pseudoaneurysm, confirmed by Doppler ultrasound; Arteriovenous (AV) fistula, confirmed by Doppler ultrasound; Arterial dissection, thrombosis, or embolism; Retroperitoneal bleeding defined by Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) or surgery; Significant drop in hemoglobin ≥ 3 g/dL, or a drop in hematocrit ≥ 10% within 24-48 hours after the procedure compared to baseline without an obvious non-groin source; Any groin complication delaying hospital discharge; Large ecchymosis (> 15 cm) at the site of vascular access on follow-up (dark purple to black and confluent ecchymoses); Obvious extravascular extravasation of contrast as noted on the femoral
7 - 14 days
