Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Peri- and post-procedural access site complications (including homeostasis strategy failure; post-procedural defined as within 30 days post-intervention)up to 30 days post procedureAccess site complications are defined as a composite of: * Groin hematoma (larger than 5 cm in diameter, visible by sonography, and hemoglobin decrease \<3 g/dL) * Pseudoaneurysm * Groin as well as retroperitoneal bleeding (defined as requiring acute intervention for haemostasis, need for blood transfusions, or haemoglobin decrease \>3 g/dL) * AV fistula (visible by shunting in colour coded sonography between the common femoral artery and vein) * Arterial dissections at access site (visible with fluoroscopy or sonography as a membrane causing stenosis in the vessel lumen) * Thrombosis * VCD related ASCs
