Abstract
Nine hundred sixty consecutive cardiac catheterization procedures were studied prospectively for the presence of periprocedural bacteremia. Overall, among 960 procedures, only 4 were associated with clinically significant bacteremia. All 4 were related to the intravenous line and none to the cardiac procedure itself. Clinically nonsignificant bacteremias were correlated with procedural duration, multiple skin punctures, use of multiple balloons, and obesity.
