Description
INTRODUCTION Heart disease is the second leading cause of death in Hong Kong with coronary heart disease (CHD) being the dominant component (Centre for Health Protection, 2008). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with or without stent placement is a less invasive approach than coronary artery bypass graft surgery (Reynolds et al., 2001), commonly used to treat patients with CHD (Walker et al., 2008). During PCI, the cardiologist inserts a balloon catheter percutaneously into either the femoral, radial, brachial (Reynolds et al., 2001), or ulnar artery (Aptecar et al., 2006). Because the femoral approach permits larger catheters to accommodate special devices and requires less technical proficiency (Brodie & Mann 2004), it remains a common insertion approach.
